(bottle from hi-time wines)crimson red body with a thick light brown head that leaves some heavy webbing as it sits.very beautiful looking beer i must say.the aroma is a nice blend of citrus hops,caramel malts,cinnamon,earth,and allspice.the flavor boasts much of the same along with some mint,pepper,and raisins.very different and very well done.

Distinctly unique dark and hoppy beer. Abysmal chocolate black body with a nice two-finger beige-white head. Quite mellow for its ABV and appearance. Deep red and mahogany tones appeared. Liquorish and molasses in the front with a great sweet dry-hop finish. Belgian yeast and floral NW hops make this beer a dubbel IPA to say the very least.

Bottle. Nice big lively tan head with excellent duration. Color is dark ruby. Aroma is powerful with malts, spices and fruits. Taste is complex with malts, fruits and notes of alcohol. Good bitter finish.

Bottle. Dark brown, almost black with a enormous light brown head. Aroma is piney, honey, heather, coffee, fruity and caramel. Nice body, warming alcohol, rather sweet at first but then turns bitter. Hoppy flavour, quite oily, notes of dark fruits, pines, mocha, oranges and wood. A very interresting brew, I think of it as a DIPA with a touch of roasted barley. I hope they make it regular!

bottle. near black pour with huge frothy head that lasts throughout. nice lacing. powerful aroma. spice, yeast, dry hops prominant, dark fruits, candy, some sugar, oak. very rich and complex aroma. Hopped out. At first I thought it threw off the balance a bit but at the end I don’t know. Very rich malts, mild chocolates and dry fruits. some spice and oak. A little dank. A nice alcohol warming. Unlike anything else. You find yourself analyzing every sip. A definite treat.

bomber. pours a dark brown with a nice thick tan fluffy head.... which stays throughout as a thin tan head. aromas of molasses, candi sugar and dark fruits. huge malt character on the palate, with flavors of currants, molasses and sweet sugar. very soft and carbonated on the top, while very bitter on the back and sides. the dry hopping comes through on the finish quite well. this one sticks with you, but in a very different way than the usual hopped up IIPA. very flavorful and unique. quite excellent - I’ll buy another one before they are gone for good.

22 oz bottle. Pours a very dark ruby with 2 to 3 cm foamy brown rolling head, looks almost stout like on head profile. Aroma is balanced between sweet malt, molasses and hops. Initial flavor is also balanced in a similar fashion. The end flavor and aftertaste are dominated by hops and alcohol and is lasting. Good lacing, light carbonation, medium to full body, and alcohol noted. Drinkability is high, really enjoyed this one.

Bottle at Butters Big Cellar Blowout! Thanks Butters for letting me choose what I wanted for this 400th rating. Pours a lacing, tan head with a dark brown body. Smells of molasses, dark bread, citrus, spice hops, ginger, and alcohol. Flavors the same but with some vanilla notes. The alcohol, hops, and sweetness are balanced very well.
