Oct 17, 2008 Draft at the Federal in Durham, NC. Deep red color with a dense slightly tan head. Caramel and raisin dominate this one with a notable grapefruit finish. Hops make their presence known without being bitter. Solid.

Oct 15, 2008 CASK conditioned at the memphis taproom, philadelphia, pa. wow. this was really spot on.
pours red with a huge offwhite head nose is thick with bread, yeast, a good dose of piny grapefruity hops. taste is incredibly well balanced, the hops and the malt go really well hand in hand. It was really complex but i didnt write enough notes about it. It was incredibly drinkable for it’s ABV. great stuff.

Oct 12, 2008 Draft at Old Oak Tap, Chicago. Pour is a deep crimson/red. Nose is strongly C-hopped with some distinct crystal malt as well. Taste is much the same, lots of caramel, a little citric, pretty refreshing and a touch heavy, though light in mouthfeel. Pretty decent one.

Oct 12, 2008 Bottle. Shared with my best friend, mrest88 (too bad he isn’t a Hophead!). I love imperial reds, and this one is no different. Pours with a clear red body and a light brown head that leaves good lacing. Aroma is hops (fresh) with lots of caramel and some ripe fruits. Taste starts nicely sweet with caramel and fruitiness and then finishes with a nice and controlled hop bitterness. A bit on the fizzy side of things.

Oct 12, 2008 Pours with an amber hue with no head. The beer has very good lacing as well!
Hoppy aroma with lots of caramel.
The flavor is pretty much bitter straight through. Almost too bitter in my opinion!
Syrupy texture, with lively carbonation.
In my opinion this beer was a little to hoppy and bitter for my liking. Recomended for people who like bitter beers though for sure!
