Nov 2, 2006 12 oz bottle. Hazy orange brown, light tan head. Leaves lace patches and an edge ring. Swirls of sediment. Smells like a screwdriver with fresh OJ. Also get apple juice and maple. Toffee and concentrated citrus. Some caramel then a buttery bitterness. Really hides its hops and alcohol. A smooth sipper. Last ounce with dregs good too.

Oct 16, 2006 Bottle from northerntimber. Pours cloudy amber with a patchy off-white head and spotty lacing. Aroma is sweet caramel malt (cookie), fruity and floral hops, yeast (grass), flowers and perfumey alcohol. Heavy acidity and bitterness, sweet fruity and floral hops, caramel malt, finish is an alcohol burn. Full bodied and warm, fizzy and dry palate.

Oct 9, 2006 Thanks to Mike at Oak Cafe for this treat. Smells very much of orange citrus and hops. The taste is pleasently bitter with that same strong citrus presence. It leaves a slight alcohol aftertaste ofset by a touch of sweetness.

Oct 3, 2006 Bottle, with ClarkVV and Sully, A solid 2IPA, nice fragrant aromatic hop aromas. Palate is nicely bitter, with some grapefruit hop notes, piney. Touches of caramel. Quite a strong alcohol presence however, quite sweet too.

Sep 30, 2006 Thanks to Silphium. Big, loaded oranges burting in the aroma, with red grapefruit and fresh barley. Looks a reddish amber, thick suspension - carbonation has to work its way to the surface in a small eggshell head. Flavor is spiked high alcohol, bitter with unsweetened grapefruit and a tinge of metal. tangy palate, a little sweet sticky.

Sep 27, 2006 Scary bottle. Thick, orange ,sweet brew. Reminds me of Stouts doulble ipa. Basicly flat. The sweetness overpowers the hop flavor. Thanks goes to footbalm for the bottle.

Sep 8, 2006 From a 12 oz. green wax dipped cap, long neck brown bottle with a good and creepy label, sampled at a cooler cellar temperature in a snifter.
An American barley wine-type aroma, pine resiny, grapefruit and apricots, caramel malty and whiffs of sweet alcohol.
Moderate carbonation and a light hop texture, velvety smooth medium-full bodied mouthfeel.
Syrupy sipping drinkability, tasty with the alcohol kept in the background, piney, resiny with hints of cedar, citrus squeezed over apricots, a sweet caramel malty, spicy alcohol that is noticeable towards the end, but it’s tamed and warming in the palate, a subtle plum flavor also emerges at the end and a hop resiny and malty finish.
A well made DIPA from Dark Horse, I wish this was available in Illinois.
Acquired in a trade with fellow RB Sammy, many thanks!!

Sep 5, 2006 Bottle. Ivory small head that mostly diminished, poor lacing, no visible carbonation, and a light brown hue. Sweet caramel, lightly hoppy, grapefruit and alcohol notes for the aroma. Ditto for the flavor and the ABV was surprisingly not over the top. Mildly tingly mouthfeel. Medium body.
