Cracked open my bottle of Root's Epic Ale during the Superbowl, and it was epic (both the beer and the game.. crazy finish). It was quite fruity in the finish, almost wine-like in some ways. It's probably too "sweet" for most beer drinkers, but I found it to be a fine sipping beer. Also helps since it's also somewhere around 13-14% ABV, so going slow is good (unless you're aiming to get sloshed very quickly). Due to it's seasonal availability and it's high cost (about $22 for a 22 oz bottle), it's one of those beers that I'll do once a year.
