Oct 9, 2009 Bottle at Oliver Twist in April 09.
Fantastic beer! A lot of tropical fruits and citrus in aroma and flavor. Bitter but also very balanced. Smooth, and easy to drink despite 10%.
Without doubt one of the best beers I have ever tasted.

Sep 26, 2009 Extraordinary. Pronounced hops and light citrus (apricot and kiwi). Just loaded with flavor. Not as bitter as many DIPA...much more refined and balanced...if you can use those terms with a beer called "...slam"! Serve it cold and enjoy this seasonal brew.

Sep 24, 2009 Sampled a bottle of this from "hannont" a few months ago. Colour...dark, murky orange with little head. Nose... a smack (or "slam") of citrus and pine resin! Palate... lightly frothy, sticky with pine pitch bursting with citrus and a nearly overwhelming bitterness (but in a good way!). The 10% ABV is well disguised! Damn fine Imp. IPA!

Sep 20, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a dark cloudy orange, with little floaties in the bottom. Very strong bitter and hop taste up front. Slight alc.% burn towards the end though. Great smelling and looking beer, and very solid overall.

Sep 14, 2009 12 oz bottle probably about 8 months old. Pours hazy dark gold with very little head. Aroma of honey and lavender. Incredibly sweet caramel and honey flavor followed by an almost stinging bitter finsh. Medium body with quite a bit of activity on the tongue. Very complex and almost reminiscent of a west coast barley wine. Would love to taste it fresh. ABV is hidden extremely well!

Sep 12, 2009 12 oz bottle-Trade w/blutt59. Clear golden/orange color w/a slight white head & great lacing. Floral hop aroma. Citrus/floral hop flavor w/traces of banana, wheat, bread dough, & spice. Has a lot of hops, but it’s very drinkable, balanced w/some malt so it’s not an offensive hop bomb. Reminded me of a DHF 90 Minute. I’m not always a DIPA fan, but this one was quite good. Alcohol was very well hidden, but I can feel it as I’m trying to type! Now I know why people say they have been Hopslammed, this baby packs a wallop! Thanks Bob!

Sep 11, 2009 Dan’s Bachelor Party Extended Weekend Rating #44 of 90. On tap at the Eccentric Cafe in Kalamazoo. Pours a clear golden/orange. Very strong citrus hop nose and flavor. Nice clean wet citrus hop. Clearly the favorite off the taster.
