Mar 11, 2009 22 oz bottle from Market of Choice. Deep amber pour with a big white head and solid lacing. Very nice smelling brew with brown sugar, juniper berry and some spicy hop aroma. Equally nice flavor with some big honey and juniper tastes, almost tastes like gin at some points. Also a huge hop backdrop with some potent grapefruit. Could use to pick up another one of these actually.

Feb 22, 2009 Bottle. Pours a deep copper with a nice off white to tan head. Loads of tight bubbles too. Nose is sweet and hoppy with some berry tone to it. Flavors of honey predominate (with the initial thickness of honey feel too) as well as the juniper berries. Hop flavors build as you drink and a nice grapefruit flavor comes out that blends nicely with juniper. Mouth is fairly full with a nice bite at the end that leads to a long medium bitter finish.

Feb 2, 2009 lots of malt and caramel in this double IPA. I expected more of a hop kick but instead was pleasantly surprised by the barley-wineish taste to this beer, a taste that was very casual and mellow. Very nice all around.

Jan 30, 2009 22oz bottle via trade with blutt59. Pours much darker than expected, a very deep ruby with a 2 finger off white head that left some nice lacing. Nose was slightly sweet with big pine and citrus influences. Flavor was bitter sweet and quite malty. I thought this was a very underrated brew, a nice change of pace from your run of the mill IIPA’s.

Jan 24, 2009 Malty and fermented honey aroma with an unusual meaty accent. Thick and rich head. Dark brown color which was strange for an IPA. Some what meaty (beef stock) type flavor with malt and hops, fairly sweet, but good. Creamy palate with a sweetly oriented duration. Very Good.
