| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 8, 2009 Draft at blind lady: pours with gigantic head of cream color atop a glimmering golden clearness. Smells of sweet accented hops with nice orange molassis and ribbon candy. Thick, creamy body brings somewhat sweet and orange-like hop flavors. A little syrupy in texture but not too bad...hops are a little flimsy in the finish as well...but overall not too bad. The oak comes through quite strong in the finish combining with alcohol to allow you to breath orange flavored hop fire poisoneddwarf (221), Rathdrum, Idaho, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Nov 7, 2009 12 oz bottle. Aroma is fruity--grapefruit citrusy, sweet. Pours amber with minimal head, decent lacing. Tastes of raisins, molasses, and alcohol that lingers in the aftertaste. Tastes more like a barleywine than an imperial IPA, but labels aren’t important, right? Good brew. bigbish (141), Colorado, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 5, 2009 Another great beef from DFH. Had this on tap at their ale house in Virginia. Spectacular aroma, a medium body, and oh that flavor. Very malty, caramel, and a long finish. This stuff is great. KornDogg (220), Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Nov 5, 2009 Bottle. amber color with dense thin head.. great sweet caremel/ hop aroma... Amazing flavor filled with caremel, hops and a strong bitter aftertaster... perfectly balanced... VERY similar to Southern Tier’s Oak Aged Unearthly cmonster (114), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Nov 4, 2009 12 oz bottle served in a tulip. Clear but dark. Oiled bronze in color. Large, dense off-white head with decent retention and considerable lacing. Complex aromatics. Malt, yeast, hops, caramel, and bread. Rich flavors driven by the oak aging. Excellent creamy and slick mouthfeel. Boarders on a barley wine. More malts than hops. Light carbonation. Long, malty, smoldering finish. The alcohol is there late on. Dynamite stuff! dcschiller (20), Arizona, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 3, 2009 (12oz bottle). Nice copper color. The initial sweetness lingers on the lips but the hops fall a little flat for an IPA. Still, its a nice beer and it hides it’s alcohol content well. Gmku (254), Asheville, North Carolina, USA
| 5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 20/20 | Nov 2, 2009 One huge remarkable beer. I could tell from the second I uncapped this one that this was going to be mighty tasty. Maltier than many double-I’s I’ve tried with robust hops from start to finish. waltersrj (52), Washington, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 2, 2009 Another good one from DFH. Poured a bright orange color. Nose was more hoppy than the 90 minute. Also, citrus, floral, barley and pine. Taste was like the smell; more hoppy than its brother, the 90 minute. A very delicious beer, wish I would’ve grabbed two...
