Mar 10, 2005 Orangey-amber colour. Chewy aroma with hint of malt and a big fat chewy character. Rich, resiny hop body with plenty of crystal malts as well.

Apr 27, 2003 Orange-amber. Small, dissipating, yellowish head. Vineous, some chalk, some hops and orangepeel. Bitter; hops, but even more roasted malts. Glimmer of sweet malt underneath, but the roasted varieties reign. Long bittereffect. Extremely full-bodied, chewy. Aftertaste is just the prolongation of all those hops. It’s better than some hopmonsters. Especially the mouthfeel pleases me. Still, it remains a bit lopsided.

Mar 9, 2005 Sampled bottled at Man Land, Portland
Hazy blonde, no head, nose of bright cascades & other floral hops. I can’t believe they’ve lived up this long! The flavor is nicely bitter & sweet, well aged with a hoppy finish. Yum!

Aug 18, 2003 Orange brown color. Medium head. Aroma is sweet and fruity with a touch oak. A full bodied Imperial IPA/barley wine /American Strong Ale. Malts are nutty and somewhat sweet. Hops are grapefruity, piney and spicy. A big very hoppy beer. Touch of oak and fruit. This beer is hop dominate, there is no attempt to even try to balance the malts. The hops balance each other out, but there is no attempt to meet the malts. Hides the 10% alcohol very well. Finish is nicely oaky. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean, crisp and oaky. Aftertaste is bitter, with a touch of alcohol bite.

Jul 25, 2003 2002 Vintage. Reddish brown body with a non-existent head. Hoppy, woody nose. Smells similar to the Leviathan from Fish Tale. The first taste is divine! Wondefully hoppy and bitter taste on the tongue mellows a little and then becomes spicy with a lightly bitterted aftertaste. Barely taste the 10% alcohol. This is good. Wish I had more of it!

Aug 26, 2003 Pours with a murky orange color with a tight white sticky head which dissipates quickly. Pleasant fruity, malty aroma - slight whiff of molasses. Excellent thick mouthfeel. Flavor - more akin to a barleywine but more hops present. Alcohol is evident but not overwhelming. Cascade hop flavor is dominant but not to the point of being cloying. Finishes strong. A good nightcap before bed.
