Sep 28, 2009 Bottle shared. Poured copper amber with a nice white head, little lace. Aroma of resinous hops, big malt, light booze. Taste is pretty hoppy considering the age. Some mild booze as well. Malt makes this really sweet. Finish is warming. Overall, a good aged IIPA.

Sep 3, 2009 Pours a hazy amber with some golden notes towards the top, some floaters. Beautiful beer. Aroma of resiny hops, booze, caramel malts, citrus. Similar taste, very boozy, drinking a 2006 bottle so very strong. Cheers

Sep 3, 2009 Bomber shared at Scottyp’s housewarming tasting. Pours a beautiful very hazy burnt orange with decent foamy offwhite head with spotty lacing. Nose of sweet old mellowed floral hops, honey, and mellow alcohol, but no burn. Flavor is sweet hop resin, with an enjoyable booziness. Despite having 3 years of age, this is still a really enjoyable beer. I’m really digging this.

Sep 3, 2009 Thanks Butters. Fading ring of beige head with a burnt orange body full of white particulates. Aromas of resin, sticky, mellow hops. Flavor is resin, pine, caramel. Reminds me of a barley wine. Alcohol stands out.

Jul 11, 2009 had it once a while ago. It was to green for me. After I finished it I remember thinking I wouldn’t want it again.

Jan 1, 2009 22 oz. bottle. Pours a hazy orange amber color with a medium creamy yellowish beige head. Some floaties are present. The aroma has a candy like sweetness, a big dose of caramel malts, and big citrus hops. The flavor has a big caramel malt presence accompanied by some fruits and more sweetness. The hops are there but have probably faded a bit. Orange citrus is at the forefront with hints of pine and floral around as well. Full bodied, viscous, and warming as it goes down. I would have liked to have had this fresh to compare.

Dec 19, 2008 Bottle. Picked up at the Bottleworks. Pours a cloudy amber orange with a frothy off white head. Lots of hops to the nose. Grapefruit and floral aroma. Very sweet entry. Tart tangerine, grapefruit, caramel malts. A nice bitter finish. Very good!

Dec 5, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Zathrus13, Thanks! Pours a medium bodied, grapefruit red colrwith a small, soapy white head. The aroma is pine/grapefruity hops with some mild caramel. The flavor starts with a flash of grapefruit rind with a little of the actual fruit and some resiny pine with a nice balance of caramel malts in the finish. I really expected this to be well over the hill,which it may be, but it is still a quite tasty brew.
