Nov 11, 2005 Not sure how old this bottle is. Poured like no other IPA I’ve seen; dark, dark brown (almost black) with a small sized off white head. Earthy and dirty aroma with roasted nuts. Almost reminded me of freshly dug up earthworms. Tastes of caramel, chocolate, and maple with a medium sweetness to it.

Feb 18, 2009 Draft @ the brewpub. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a small white head. Has a malty floral hoppy aroma with some hints of citrus. Sweetish malty hoppy bitter citrus flavor. Has a slightly sweetish malty hoppy bitter finish.

Aug 7, 2005 Tasted at the 2005 Bistro IPA festival. Orange gold color, slightly hazy. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is citrus and fruity. A medium bodied IPA. Malts are fruity and sweet. Hops are grapefruit and piney. Medium bitter IPA. Nice balance. This used to be marketed as the ‘bitterest beer in America’, at a whopping 75 IBU’s my how things have changed. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Jun 12, 2007 On tap @ Buffalo Bills poured a lightly hazy amber with a large lasting eggshell white head. Aromas of earthiness, pine, carmel and a hint of grapefruit. Palate was medium bodied, smooth and slightly dry. Flavors of carmel, pine, earthiness, orange and a hint of grapefruit with a smooth lingering bitter finish. This is far from being the "bitterest" beer in America!

Nov 10, 2005 Updated: Nov 11, 2005Thanks to Hopdog. Pours a dark brown with a small tan lacing head. Surprised by the appearance of this "IPA". Aroma is an earthy, licorice, sweet caramel with some nuts thrown in. Flavor is a bit roasty. I’m really not sure how this is an IPA. Malty with maybe a slight bitterness, cocoa with slight coffee.

Mar 6, 2004 Citrus hops aroma are leaping from the bottle before I've poured, a copper beer, with a nice firm, billowy long lasting custard head. Strong hops to start, a very mellow after taste. A little unbalanced, but an amazing mouthfeel! Interesting little beer.

Jun 19, 2002 Supposedly, Alimony Ale is the ’bitterest beer of all.’ Unbalanced. I’ll pass.
