ultraspank (856), Dublin, Ohio, USA May 7, 2006 Nose of heavy pine & citrus, no shortage of spicy burnt hops. Can’t wait to taste it.
Pours a sparkling copper. The tall creamy bone head is fully lasting and leaves exceptional
lace. The brew has a very exquisite balance in addition to a huge hops blast. The finish is
a toasted masterpiece. The medium body is soft and creamy, the finish feels dry. Make no
mistake, this is a HUGE beer. This is on par with anything from Stone, Alesmith, or 3
Floyds. Wow! jstraw (549), Oak Park, Illinois, USA Aug 22, 2007 Updated: Jan 4, 2008Deep red amber with creamy, off-white head / Sweet, floral, pine, hoppy nose / Medium body with strong, sweet malts and sharp, chewy, hoppy finish / Flavors of burnt sugar and pine, with undertones of grapefruit and toffee / But for the alcohol, it’s an Imperial IPA, and a good one. obguthr (707), Poquoson, Virginia, USA Sep 29, 2007 Strong aroma of grapefruit and caramel, with an enticing woodiness. The color is very red, decent clarity, and a thin yellow head. Medium body, wonderful thistle and grapefruit taste, smoky undertones. Finishes with a most perfectly complimentary bitter hop. The alcohol is felt in the belly not on the palate. Served in a frosted glass and was still superb! Wulfstan (481), California, USA Sep 17, 2007 Updated: May 28, 2008This is a rich, flavourful beer with complexity, body, great balance and a pleasant, flowery element in the finish. It’s full of strong flavour, yet very drinkable and smooth. A nice reddish-brown, it has a rich foamy head with good lacing. LooseCannon (713), Norfolk, Virginia, USA Sep 17, 2007 12oz bottle. Pours reddish copper color with lite brown head. Aroma of citrus hops. Taste of grapefruit and sweet malt with bitter after taste. Aroma and taste of lite Double Bastard, outstanding ASA.
