Sep 10, 2009 Indy Brewers Fest 2009 - firkin tent - Triple Hop? Aroma is toasted nutty malts with a hint of hops. Flavor is chewy malts, nut butter and a hoppy aftertaste that doesn’t really fit. A bit stale and off.

Jul 23, 2009 IBGF 2009, firkin at the booth (Diving Duck Triple Hop Brown). Well me and Ted (MI2CA) got in the wrong line and by the time we released it we were in front of the Broad Ripple booth, so what the heck, they had this is a small firkin so we took a sample... well it was interesting at least. Deep amber brown hue with small head and spotty lace. The aroma is weird, catty hops combined by a woody and nutty vapour with a touch of cheap coffee and chocolate syrup. The taste is malty and herbal with just a dash of grapefruit and mangos, muddled where neither the hops nor the malts seems to shine. The mouth feel is chalky and dry, soft and soapy too. Hum, I dunno, perhaps the dry hopping did not work. Pass...

Jul 12, 2009 Cask at the pub. Chestnut/mahogany brown body is mostly opaque. Aroma chocolate and nuts with light hops. Malt taste is actually pretty complex despite being really light and smooth. Balanced with some watery earthiness.

Feb 14, 2009 Cask. Dark chestnut brown. Nutty nose with light pine. The flavor is actually quite good. Lots of hoppy goodness with lots of nuts and hops. Light and wasy drinking body. Pretty good.

Jan 18, 2009 cask at the brewpub - Pours medium brown with a lingering white head. It has a mild aroma of toasted caramel malt. The toasted caramel leads the sweet flavor that then finishes in a pleasantly lingering mild bitterness. It’s medium bodied and lightly carbonated.
