Commercial Description:
This Imperial Red Ale is an extreme beer lover’s dream. It is our Red Rocket Recipe, brewed with twice as many ingredients. Toffee and caramel malt notes and warming alcohol are balanced by sharp hop bitterness and citrus hop oils. Mahogany in color, enjoy in moderation.

pint @ Tyler’s Apex. Good aroma, sweet. Hoppy, pine, little fruity, I’m getting cherry, caramel / toffee kind of malt. Dark orangy brown color, good head and lace. Sweet, bitter flavor. Medium body, smooth creamy mouthfeel, bitter dry finish. Good brew, Looked great, thought it was at it’s best at it coldest point, aroma and flavor muddled as it warmed.

Sampled during RBSG 7/11/2009 on tap at the brewery. This American Strong Ale pours a dark reddish color from the tap. Small to medium sized beige foamy head. The aroma is malty with some piney hops. A medium bodied American Strong Ale. The malts are caramel and sweet. The hops are piney and grapefruity. Nice balance. Good carbonation. Nice Amped up version of Red Rocket. Lots of malts, lots of hops. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter

Pours brown with a dense, light brown head. Aroma is thick with caramel, toffee, and citrusy hops. Also a faint hint of chocolatey roastedness. The flavor is heavy of caramel and toffee with various fruits: sweet, dark, citrusy, you name it. It ends bitter, but not as much as you would think. Surprisingly medium bodied as well. Really nice beer that seems to stradle a few different styles, taking the best of all of them.

A deep ruby brown ale with a thin moka head. In aroma, nice rosewater and nutty malt, light c-hops. In mouth, an intense oily hoppy ale, warming alcohol, flavours are blending nicely, grapefruit notes, rich and onctuous. Wow! On tap at brewpub, August 16 2009.
