Aug 8, 2006 Mullman brought this to the last HWOH. THank!! Pours a medium amber slight haze a thin lasting off white head. Aroma is citrusy and pine - maybe chinook and columbus? Citrusy and mint hop flavors with a nice strong crystal malt backbone. Smooth mouthfeel and a very strong bitter finish. Awesome DIPA.

Aug 1, 2006 12/05 bottle shared by Blake. Clear brown body, small tan head. Cooked banana, lemon peel, and chocolately coffee cake aroma. Not a hop monster. The flavor brings in a sweet toffee/caramel flavor under tasty mandarin orange, lemon grass, and acidic rhubarb. A well-done IIPA.

Aug 1, 2006 Thrid wee of Dec. 2005 bottle. The beer pours to a garnet hued copper body with a thin off-white head. Spotty lacing. The aroma is piney, sprucey, resins, citrus, sugary malt. The flavor is piney/sprucey/grapefruity with lingering resins. Decently malty and definitely sugary. The palate has a lingering resin. Smooth feel. Definite alcohol.

Aug 1, 2006 amberish brown color visable carbonation and a big thick light tan head w/ some great lacing. Smells nice.. sweet hoppy aroma great pine and citurs w/ a nice full carmel. Palate is biting.. oily full and creamy. Flavor is very bitter tastes of dry hopped malt comes through late. A lot of dry pine resin that i thought detracted, but good.

Jul 10, 2006 I just got this from Liquid Solutions with my FFTW order. Dec 2003 bottle!
I will re-rate when I get a fresh one.
Huge creamy tan head over a deep amber body.
Malty rich aroma with the vestiges of a big piney presence. Now, this is very much like a Big Hoppy Monster, dark and malty with lots of hops that serve in a supporting, not dominant role. Still lots of hops, but the malt is coming through from the aging.
Sweet, with a touch of spice. No longer hop heavy as it might have once been.
Full and smooth bodied.

Jun 30, 2006 rich dark copper with a one inch head. Very rich hop aroma with pine scents and sugars from the malt. Dark malt flavour with dry hops and grapefruit. Roasted almost burnt sugar cookies and citrus hops. Noticeable alcohol. Almost a smoked IPA.

Jun 28, 2006 22 oz bottle - if the markings on it were right, this was a 2003. Pours out dark red in color, smell is malty, and smells like hop oil. Taste is grassy, sharp, and dry. Its not bad, my taste for the double IPAs is slowly fading, I still like them alot, but the over the top bitterness is getting to me. Double IPAs used to be refreshing, and I still find some that are, but it seems that the growing trend is to just make them taste like you are eating a hop rather than balancing it out to get something that actually tastes good yet has a high bitterness too.
