Nov 12, 2007 22 oz bottle. Clear topaz with a tan head. Orange caramel with underlying rye. Full body, almost thick. A brief burst of carb leads to a sticky, oily mouthfeel. Vegetal, earthy bitterness, not too assertive. Some toffee followed up with dry rye.

Nov 10, 2007 Pours an orange body with a reasonably thick head. Hop aroma, along with fruits. It wasn’t that hoppy really, but it was hoppy enough. I didn’t sense any of the rye there. Alcohol taste covered up by complex flavour. I enjoyed it.

Nov 9, 2007 Deep bronze amberish with full head. Powerful hop aroma and resiny and onslaught of wave after wave of flavor undeniably full of amarillo, simcoe, and crystal hops. Quite bitter, but it melds well. This was very strong, but perfect for the whipping cool, wet weather, however; I was stunned to see it is a whopping 10%. Between the IBU’s and the ABV % this is a behometh.

Nov 7, 2007 The beer pours from the 22 ounce bottle reddish amber with a large creamy of vanilla-white head. Nice lacing down the side of the glass. Nose is rich in sweet malt, the big hop flowery aroma underpins the malt, citrus like in its crispness, yet warm and smooth. Nice malt presence, Body is full, most certainly a belly warmer. At 10%, it’s the biggest DIPA I’ve had so far. WONDERFUL.

Nov 6, 2007 22 oz bottle. Poured a clear copper color. Head was two fingers high and light tan with good retention and lacing. Lovely beer. Aroma was of nuts, toasted bread, caramel, husky grain, and citrus/resiny hops. There was also a hint of brown sugar. Sweet on the tongue and and very fruity with pineapple flavor. Alcohol flavor was fairly assertive and there was a toasted coconut note that was interesting. Only mild to moderate hop bitterness of about 4 out of 10 came through. Good beer.

Nov 1, 2007 ABR 2007. A little rye peaks out from the sweet hop nose. Mostly hops in the sweet body. Average finish.
