Apr 24, 2009 Cask at the Rake, London this week. Dark brown pour with a decent head. Malty, sweet aroma. Starts off with a bitter hop blast and ends quite smooth. First time I tasted this about 6 years ago I could not drink it but I really love it now, what a fabulous beer, full of character. I like the pompous, arrogant comments on the side of the bottle. Another great beer from Stone Brewing Co.

Apr 23, 2009 22oz bottle shared by DuffManSW at his place. Dark amber with a little bit of red and a big off-white head. Piney aroma with some real nice maltiness. Flavor was very nicely balanced, not overpowering on either side of the malt/hop thang. Forgot what a good beer this is.

Apr 22, 2009 A dark brownish red color, with a slightly off white medium sized head. Smell is sweet, nutty, and alcoholic. Tastes grassy and hoppy with a bitter finish. Great brew! Refreshing and complex.

Apr 22, 2009 1 pint, 6 oz. bottle@Olympen,Oslo. A mostly lasting dense yellow head upon a translucent, reddish-brown colored body. Aroma has a strong earthy, grassy and piny hoppiness, (almost) balanced by some toasted dark malts and a scent of toffee/cream-caramel. Taste is dominated by earthy and piny bittering hops. Sour- sweet maltiness underneath. Notes of citrus and spices. Mouthfeel is quite sharp, bordering to astringency. Medium body strenght. A powerful and punchy one, and certainly rough on the palate.

Apr 21, 2009 Updated: Jul 28, 2009After trying a lot of these, bottled and on tap, I’m rerating it quite a bit lower. If the beer is very fresh, it’s basically a heavily hoppy IPA... too hoppy for my tastes. As it ages about 3 months, it mellows and becomes very interesting and good. Then is seems to go funky or bad within another couple months. When it’s good, it’s great, but it’s way too inconsistent for me to rate it so high.

Apr 20, 2009 Pours dark brown and ruby with a good light tan head. Alcohol is present in the aroma but not overwhelming. At first taste you’re met with immediate malts, hops and plenty of bitterness. Again alcohol is present but not overwhelming. Toasty malty and bitter. Great beer

Apr 19, 2009 Awesome beer, Tremendously hoppy, to an absurd degree. Crazy amount of malt poking through, like a scotch ale with a bucket of hops. A bit of caramel, but mostly just bitter.
