Mar 11, 2005 Some mild fruits and big hops. hops are big from beginning to end. Light pepper and spice with a hint of residual sweetness. Lingering finish with good bitterness.

May 26, 2004 On tap @ Barclay’s--Rockridge. Deep amber body with medium tan head. Enough aroma hops to clear your sinuses. Flavor matched the nose with a rich sweetness well complemented by fruity spicy hops. Nice bitterness throughout. Some alcohol presence in the finish, but certainly not enough to give away the 10.5% ABV. No wonder they serve this in half pints. I hope that I can get some more of this.

May 20, 2004 Tap at Barclay’s Rockridge. Dark amber color with little head. Good balance of strong hops, malt, and rich body. Long finish.

Apr 23, 2004 Draft. Deep amber color with a deep rich head. Huge hops and a rich full flavor. It's thick, agressive, overpowering... a very nice beer.

Apr 1, 2004 Tap @ Barclay's in Jack London Square. What a treat. This was a big, sweet, creamy hop delight. Sweet fruits, bitter, and warming.
