Very sweet, bready aroma with lots of sticky hops. Extremely full flavor, rich in malt base layered with sticky, resiny hops, woodsy, bourbony notes and a long-lasting dry finish. Full bodied, smooth, warming; moderately carbonated. Seems more than a DIPA...almost into strong ale/barleywine classification. A real treat. elcaballo (101), Beverly Hills, California, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 5, 2008 Tap at Barcade: Deep amber pour topped by a dense off-white ring for head. Sweet aroma. Evident rye and candied malt character, some piny hops notes, a touch of mint and candied peach. Dense body, slightly cloying. Has a rich flavor with lots of sticky rye character along with resiny/piny hops. The finish is long and dry with a hint of minty character. It’s rich and dense but homogeneous. Goes from rich and sweet to a harsh bitterness. Not much underlying character in this big IIPA. jsquire (2107), St. Marys, Ohio, USA
