| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 16, 2009 On tap at the Lancaster location. Served clear dark brown with a thin beige head in a shaker glass. The first glass I had left nice sheets of lacing all down the glass marking every sip. The second glass I had left no lacing. The smell was very hoppy, lots of citrus, some floral, and a bit of toastiness. The roasted grains really came forward in the flavor giving some dark toast and cocoa character while the hops balanced it perfectly with fresh grapefruit, grass, and floral. Bitterness is present but not to IPA levels. An amazingly balanced beer and easily my favorite beer I have ever had from Iron Hill. jcwattsrugger (5572), Florida and, New Jersey, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 12, 2009 Consumed while enjoying (as a non-participant) the Iron Hill Twilight Criterium cycling race / party. Pour was full brown color, ok head and lacing. The aroma was chocolate, roast, some floral hop notes. The flavor followed, rich chocolate base, light roast, caramel, floral an firm bittering hops. They definitely played the hops strong in this sucker - probably the only way to make this style interesting. Mouthfeel was moderately bodied, fairly dry and clean.
