Dec 1, 2007 bottle.....pours an orange brown hue with a thin temporary white head and nice lacing down the sides....aromas of sweet caramel malt and light tropical fruits. traces of dark fruit...flavors of a nice mixture of hops and malts but the hops eventually take over. hops are of the pine resin variety and the malts added a nice caramel dimension to the beer. i don’t get too much of the oak flavoring however. gosh this should be close to a DIIPA.....a nice ASA, thats for sure.

Nov 27, 2007 Bottle shared with and courtesy of jerc & mabel. Pours a clear orange-amber with a small semi-lasting beige head. Very nice aroma of hops, fruit, caramel malt, wood and alcohol. Flavour’s quite boozy but still good, with fruit, wood, caramel malt and a good amount of hops. Medium bodied. Quite enjoyable, I couldn’t drink a ton of this due to how boozy it is but it’s still pleasant.

Nov 25, 2007 Bottle from Kensington Wine Market in Calgary. Dark amber body with a moderate creamy beige head. Boozy aroma is fruity with malt undertones. (7+) Light alcohol burn to the flavour and palate mellows after a bit. Mild fruit, rough caramel saturated grains. Medium palate. (3+) Decent, but strikes me as best enjoyed in small quantities.

Nov 3, 2007 Bottle. Pours a reddish copper hue with a nice white head on top. Aroma is citrus, big amounts of caramel malts, and vanilla. Flavor is full of toffee and caramel with piney hops coming in. Nice mixture of bitterness and sweetness on the tongue.

Oct 28, 2007 Courtesy of Badgerben. Nice fruit and malt aroma. Orange in color. Fruit and and malt flavor with considerable smoke in the aftertaste. The hops are there but seem like an afterthought, not really so bitter, I suspect the age has something to do with that.

Oct 28, 2007 Updated: May 4, 2008355 ml bottle from a trade with pintbypint. anyone who has access to this beer should drink it regularily. pours murky orange with no head. huge hop aromas of pine and citris float of the top of this beauty. the malt stucture complements the hop additions very well and smooths this beer into wonderfully rounded drinkability. a very good effort.

Oct 23, 2007 Cellar Reduction Night, Oct 20, 2007. Orange color with no head. Citrusy aroma, along with plenty of hops and a little smoke, beechwood style. Sweet malt taste with the same smoke and citrus from the aroma. I really liked this one. Too bad it’s all gone.

Sep 16, 2007 (Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of boboski. Slightly hazy amber golden with an off-white head, leaving laces. Fresh aroma of citrus and fat hop oils. Full-bodied, sweetish caramel, perfumy hop accents and then a very brutal bitterness. I find this out of balance with a very pushy alcohol. 150907
