| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 23, 2007 Pours a deep copper/burned orange with a full head that laces as it slowly dies. Smells bready, caramel, earthy, and grassy, grapefruit hops. Starts sweet then a rush of citrus rind hops that battle with the malt until finally emerging victorious with a lingering bitter finish. Mildly full in the mouth with good carbonation. ABV is somewhat noticeable but this is a huge beer and its well hidden behind the malt/hop battle.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 2, 2007 Shared with Ian, thanks dude for the sweet beer!! Pours dark amber with a thick white head. Big caramel malt and hops aroma. Not a wimpy beer! Very big hop citrus grapefruit aroma. Taste is just a little malty with an explosion of hops that make this big and over the top. A great beer for hop heads. Tmoney99 (4765), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 16, 2007 Unfiltered thick body- looks like Alexander’s LME. very little head, but what is there is a very white head. Very boozy aroma with a very malty aroma. Huge malt taste with a bit of hops. Very thick and coats the tongue. Not a Double IPA, though. Tastes like it has been oaked. $2.99 for 22 oz at Voorhees Discount Liquor scottyw (46), Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Nov 3, 2007 Not much on aroma - just a lot of hops. Pours very cloudy, little head, but excellent form and glass lacing. Taste isn’t overpowering, but this one leaves a reasonable aftertaste. Nothing offensive, just a decent DIPA. stegosaurus (1882), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 30, 2007 Bottle sampled. Pours hazy light amber with a good size off-white head. Aroma of citrus, caramel, fruit, and piney hops. The flavor is sweet, caramel, citrus, fruit, and finishes with a good amount of bitter hoppiness, alcohol is well masked. Good brew.
