12-oz bottle from 99 Bottles. Robust amber. Creamy mouthfeel. BItter start moves toward malty sweetness with notes of brown sugar, caramel, and nuts. Bittering piney hops become secondary focus (behind the malts) as the beer becomes more smooth and malt-focused as it moves toward room temperature.

Oct 27, 2008 Bottle. Ruby-amber beer with a dark cream colored head. Light grapefruit, caramel, and light darker malts in the aroma. Grapefruit and caramel flavor with bready malts and light pine. Medium-plus bodied. Nice bitterness. Grapefruit, pine, and caramel linger. I can see this beer getting lower on another night, but it hit the spot on this one.

Sep 25, 2008 Bottle from Bottleworks in Seattle, WA--Poured a deep glowing ruby red body with a frolicking off-white head. Sweet floral hoppy prominent nose. Candied, mildly gumball essence. Sticky, faintly cloying. Malt-sweetened rich, full-bodied. No joke. Stinging back of cheek corners and back of tongue, sweet grip. Goodly, libatioius, ingredient-ladened Pacific NW beer. Not so bad. Sticky, clinging residuals.
