Oct 13, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours light copper in colour, with a nice frothy off-white head, which leaves lots of lacing. Aroma is earthy, herbal hops. Taste is super bitter. Carbonation is very fine, with a smooth, sweet finish.

Oct 9, 2009 12oz bottle from dmac. Pours ruddy, dark amber with a thin white head, good lace. Smells of big caramel malts with a hint of dark, earthy hops. Tastes the same. Big malts, sweet and caramelly with a lightly bitter, dark, citrusy hop character. Ok. Medium body, ok carbonation.

Oct 9, 2009 From dmac via trade. Pour a hazy golden/amber color with an active white head and plenty of lacing. The aroma was loaded with pine and floral hops and a brief whiff of citrus. The flavor was mostly pine hops with some bitter orange rind and not enough sweet malts to even it out. Thin and easy drinking with a clean finish.

Oct 7, 2009 2009 Bottle - Thanks dand645! - Pours a dk amber with a small off white head...aroma is grainy and hoppy, floral and a touch spicy, dry grainy malt...flavour is suprising, bold right off the bat, roast grain, coffee?, bitter and flavouring hops, lingering bite...I really liked this

Sep 30, 2009 Appearance: Murky brown/red with a small yet frothy off white head. Aroma: Quite hoppy with a good deal of malt hidden behind it, some orange peel and toffee and the tiniest bit of pepper. Flavour: Initially a good deal of hops, one can definitely tell its been dry-hopped, nice and muted, lots of malt, slight coffee, orange peel and with a long dry hop finish. Not bad. Not bad at all.

Sep 28, 2009 Pours a Dark amber with a minimal head. Just a hint of malt sweetness in the nose, with little slightly perceivable hop character in the aroma. Surprising as they boast the fact that it was dry-hopped.
What I like about this beer is malt. It’s got a good, almost bready malt flavor with a wonderful mouthfeel.
It takes a while, but leaves quite the bitter finish on my tongue.
I like it, I’d buy again, but maybe in another sampler, not a 6er of this alone.
