Dec 11, 2005 Updated: Feb 4, 2006Draft at Summit’s in Atlanta. WOW! I had this beer when it was originally released years ago and remembered it being one of my favorites. Well, it still is. This is a really good beer. Similar to Big Foot but dare I say better.

Nov 20, 2005 On tap, labeled as John’s Locker Stock. Clear amber body, thin white head. Bitter citrus (grapefruit rind) flavor with a cereal-y caramel background. Renious finish. I’m suprised to see this styled as an ASA it struck me as an ordinary IPA.

Nov 9, 2005 This dark amber ale poured with a modest off-white head. The flavor is quite hoppy and bitter, but massive malting results in a very pleasant balance. Thanks to Charlie P. for inspiring this great brew.

Oct 31, 2005 Mike and Molly’s in Champaign, IL, came upon this by mistake. Distributor shipped the wrong beer. Now, accidents like that are great. This was an impressive beer. Clear copper body with a full off-white head that decorated the glass with lacing as it receded. The hops were more than evident with that citrusy tang that refreshes. Full bodied, great mouthfeel. The flavor was rich, nice hops bite, malt sweetness, and a hint of barleywine to it. Damned glad this mistake was made.

Oct 31, 2005 Had at D’s 6 pack while visiting a friend. A highly bitter, somewhat thick, pulpy textured ale with plenty of malt. Reminded me a bit of Old Crusty, actually. There are mild orangey flavors floating around, caramel and a touch of butterscotch and biscuit. Not bad, but I could have done with without the high hopping.

Oct 31, 2005 On tap at Mike & Mollys in Champaign (by mistake!) And what a wonderous mistake it was. Reminded me of Hop Rod, with the biting hops but firm malt background and structure. Good viscosity here, and strong notes of pine and caramel. Impressive work.

Oct 11, 2005 I believe that this is what I had on tap at Pizza Plant (they just listed Johns Locker Stock.) Loads of caramel in the nose with coffee, brown sugar, toffee, slightly fruity, vanilla. Very dark body with a frothy oatmeal head. Flavor has tons of caramel, coffee, toffee. Nuttiness comes forward to be washed away by bitter chococherry finish. Disappointingly thin mouthfeel.

Sep 29, 2005 Tap at Horsebrass, PDX. Very clear, deep ruby colored beer with a small tan head. Good lacing is left behind from the thin head after it fades. Aroma is fairly malty and sweet with a pleasant, earthy hop presence. Medium bodied with a medium carbonation level. Initially flavor is sweet and quite malty, but quickly turns bitter, almost to a harsh astringent point. Fair to good.
