May 10, 2008 Drinking a Lord Tufnel’s Imperial Pilz - My second was poured into a Pilsener glass (the mug-full was a pleasant mistake) because this RB doesn’t mug-it when the beer is over 8% ABV. Because of that strong ABV and absurd hopping, I requested this be changed to, alas, the European Strong Lager category. Be that as it may... What we actually have here is another IPL (India Pale Lager), and it’s a dandy. It has a clear golden body with a creamy, sustained head that provides plenty of lacing. The aroma has an underlying warm bread and toasty grain sweetness that nearly gets buried by the hoppy scents of yellow grapefruit, zest of lemon, and bitter grasses. The flavor begins with that malty sweetness, but the tastebuds are soon whalloped by an onslaught of hop ( Screw the shortage!) bitterness, the PNW hops dominating, but the grassy/herbal European hops playing a strong supportive role. The finish is dry and refreshingly bitter. Yet another fine brew by Tim Marshall. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Bottom Yorktown, Lombard, IL<font size=-1>

May 9, 2008 On tap at Rock Bottom Yorktown. Rock Bottom Yorktown Lord Tufnells Imperial Pilsener is a hazy yellow color with a great white head. The aroma is hoppy with with some grassy and earthy tones. The taste is bad, but the aftertaste is worse. It is a bit stale with a bad mixture of earthy/grassy tones and hops. The finish is dry which forces the flavor to stay with you for a while.
