Jul 24, 2005 Draft at San Diego Brewing Co. Malty aroma with dark fruits mostly dark cherry, and some vanilla. Flavors were similar with some added alcohol, and then a finish that was surprisingly hoppy. Pretty tasty.

Jul 23, 2005 On Tap: Heavy, grassy aroma; full bodied with heavy caramel malt backbone, some bread and toast notes; light, pleasant pheonelic and medicinal hints; sharply bitter throughout that’s more than a match for the huge malt base; woody, alcoholic and complex; quite promising but a little on the harsh and young side; I need a bottle to age for a while.

Jul 20, 2005 On tap at the Drafting Room in Springhouse, PA. Poured a dark brown with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of pine, grapefruit and caramel. Tastes of citrus (oranges and grapefruit), nuts and caramel. Has almost a light sour start that ends in a nice bitter finish.

Jul 19, 2005 On Tap at Bitter Creek Ale House: Lovely deep dark brown with a light brown head. A full, sticky lacing covered the glass. It carries strong alcohol aromas with hops that whisper in your ear "How do you like them Grapefruit rinds?" The body is rich and creamy followed by a great bitter finish. A tasty speciman of a beer!

Jul 19, 2005 On tap at the Hop Devil. Pours a deep brown with a frothy lite brown head. Aroma is of huge piney hops with a fair amount of malty cookiness. The innitial flavor reveals little more than resinous piney hops but as it warms and as you grow accustomed, there is a deep carameliness but all in all it is pretty straight foreward. The body is full and lush. The bitterness is huge and long-lasting. I’d love to find a bottle of this and give it a few years because much like old crusty, this is pretty harsh when fresh

Jul 19, 2005 Tap at Bitter Creek in Boise. A littel birdie told me that this was in at one of the nicer alehouses in town so I had to make a special trip. A deep clear mahogany with a medium sized light tan head. Sheets of persistant lascing coated the glas almost all the way down. Aromsa of dark bitterness, woody malts and a strong hops presence. Flavors were mostly hops and bitter woody flavors. Seemd more like a ramped up ESP or dark IPA. The ABV felt about right for the % and otherwise, simple straight forward taste. Moderate feel, not particularly rich or smooth. Nice but not that interesting. Always glad to try these limited runs.
