jcwattsrugger (3733), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Nov 8, 2007 on tap-pours a light brown head and black color. Aroma is dark malt and lots of citrus hops. Taste is dark malt-roasty, lots of citrus hops-some bitter/pine.
SoLan (1159), Orlando, Florida, USA Nov 7, 2007 Courtesy jayg. Very dark brown/black with brown edges and a small, tan head. Flavor and aroma dominated by hops- citrus, resin, pine spicy florals. Malt support is mildly sweet and toasty with some subtle cocoa. A bit of chocolate malt? Medium body, balanced carbonation, easy to drink. Excellent change of pace for an IPA. bu11zeye (3573), Frisco, Texas, USA Oct 18, 2007 (Hand Bottle) Pours a mahogany body with a moderate tan head. Aroma of cocoa, citusy, and toasted bread. Flavor of citrusy hops, roasted/brown malt, and light coffee. jayg (976), Florida, USA Sep 17, 2007 On tap at the brewpub. Dark chestnut color with a thin off-white head. Nice crisp grapefruit color with a hint of mild roasty malts. Nice hop crispness to start the taste, some biscuity malt in the middle, and the finish is hops again, a nice citric tingle. The dark grains add an interesting nuance to the brew, adding just enough of a toastiness behind the relatively aggressive hops to leave you thinking about what’s different. goldtwins (3668), Nesconset, New York, USA Oct 24, 2006 Alpha King Competition 2006: Poured a dark brown color. Nice hop aroma with roasted notes of coffee and even a little ash. Nice hoppy finish. The beer was decent. Almost like a IDarkA.
