Mar 25, 2008 12 oz bottle from G&G. Pours a brilliant copper with a half inch creamy head. Fruit and wood aroma. Not your average double ipa. Alot going on in this brew. Kind of pricey but a must try for all beer lovers.

Mar 24, 2008 There is the term as no such thing as bad beer. Well this is close. Something about oak and IPAs doesn’t fit with me. The beer has a harsh sting when swallowed. Tastes more like rubbing alchohol than an Imperial brew.

Mar 24, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a moslty clear copper with a moderate off-white head that lasted until mid-glass and left some patchy lace. I was surprised at how light and frankly indistinct the aroma was. Thankfully, the beer was more flavorful than the aroma would suggest with some oak and caramel up front followed up with some nice fruity hops. Definite warming from the alcohol at the finish, especially as the beer neared room temperature. An interesting beer albeit overpriced for a four-pack.

Mar 23, 2008 This beer seems underrated to me. It had me from the pour... an attractive, deep dark orange and nice bubbles making it look cloudy as they rose to the top and the beer settled. White head disappeared rather quickly but left some lovely lacing. Smell knocked my socks off... much fruitier than expected, and the oak was present by definitely not overpowering. More wood than sourness or vanilla. Lots of hops on the nose. Thought I tasted the 90 minute in there and wasn’t surprised to read that in the description. Some pine and grapefruit, orange, spices, brown sugar on the palate as well as some wood and slight vanilla from the oak. Slightly creamy finish. I really enjoyed this beer. The price is the only thing I don’t love about it.

Mar 22, 2008 Nice amber/copper pour with a creamy off-white head. Aroma is of spiced fruits and light hops. Very fruity flavor like spiced apples/peaches. Tons of general spicy flavor with a clean, smooth, light hop finish. Very nicely balanced beer.

Mar 22, 2008 From a plastic cup at the brewery. Amber with big orange head. Hop, fruit, wood aroma. Flavor is caramel, fruit, spice. Oranges and apples in there. Liked this a lot.

Mar 22, 2008 Pours a dark honey with a thick off-white head that diminishes quickly.Minimal lacing. Quite malty, but that doesn’t prevent the hops from making their presence known. Malt flavor is accompanied by oak. Mouthfeel is good - nothing spectacular. Aftertaste brings the hops back for an encore, but is also rather metallic. Alcohol is well hidden.

Mar 22, 2008 Pours a reddish brown with 1 finger ofoff white head. Huge aroma of hops with some oak and malt as well. Flavor of hops, oak, grapefruit, pine and caramel. Interesting twist on the style, but seems a but off centered (probably because it’s for off centered people). Still pretty good, but not fantastic.
