Apr 20, 2009 Pours an clear amber/orange color with a modest white head. Aroma abounds as soon as the bottle is opened and poured. Aroma is all hops with citrus and pine notes really taking hold and a light caramel note taking up the rear. Flavor is very complex. Starts off with a citrus, light pine hop flavor and caramel and moves into a very sweet honey-ish middle with a woody and light smokey flavor toward the end with a low alcohol note, even though it sits at 11%. The beer is very full, oily and carries the hop bitterness very well even though the color would suggest a lighter flavored beer. Overall this is a very solid beer with a great balance between the hops presence and the dense malt sugars of the beer. Another winner by this brewery.

Apr 19, 2009 Bottle Pours a clear golden with a creamy off white head. The head lasts well and laces nicely. Has a nice hoppy, oily aroma. I get caramel, oine, and citrus. Has a good carbination and a good mouthfeel. Nice flavors of hops and oranges. Good solid finish. Has an oily texture. A medium to full body. The alcohol is hidden well, and doesn’t produce much if any alcohol burn. This is a good drinking DIPA.

Apr 19, 2009 Draft at Rattle ’n Hum. Poured a clear light orange color with a white head. Big citrus aroma accompanied by less caramel, and some alcohol. Nice balance of caramel malt and citrusy hops in the flavor with plenty of alcohol warmth and flavor. Didn’t get much in the way of oak, but with the other assertive flavors in this beer, it’s no wonder.

Apr 18, 2009 22 oz. bottle. Pours a slightly hazed amber with a moderate yellow-white head that lasted through three-quarters of the glass and left partial lace. Very pleasant aroma of caramel, pine, orange and vanilla. The flavor is equally enjoyable with caramel, pine, orange, vanilla, oak and honey. A trace of alcohol in the aftertaste. Moderate bitterness at the finish. The dichotemy at Southern Tier is truly amazing. There are beers like this one that they do so well, and yet others like Cuvee #1 are just horrid.

Apr 18, 2009 Barrel aged oaken aromas and flavors on top of a Double IPA. Overall it works. Rich and spicy with some honey and pine. Sweet caramel, some pickle juice and dill notes. Rich palate. Quite good.

Apr 17, 2009 Pale orange, slight but lasting head. Aroma of citric hops and some oak. Flavor matches - oak, grapefruit, a bit of pine, caramel accented hops. This wasn’t bad, but in my opinion the oak gets in the way a bit of the pure expression of hops that was found in the original Un*Earthly. Nice though.

Apr 17, 2009 bottle from joekinty: pours a clear .copper couler with a nice soapy white head, very nice colour. aroma is awesome full of orangy citrus hops and great malt backbone to balance very nicely a littel of the oak comes through very well not over powering but blends in well. a littel breadiness and a slight cotton candy sweetness. very good. flavour is interesting at frist but then tuns into something very nice. good oak that seems to be sweetened with the malt and a good balance of caramelly malts. wow i really olike this much better than i thought. great job ST

Apr 17, 2009 Bottle, has a very clear orange-copper pour and produced a creamy white and off-white head with mild effervescence that is persistent in the glass, aromas of piney citrus hops, orange fruit, toasted malt and caramel, malt sweetness, also, there are aromas of bourbon alcohol and wood, flavors of malt sweetness, faint toasted malt and caramel with the oak flavor, mouth feel is a little more than medium, this ale left fine bubbled lacing on the glass. I easily tasted the difference between this and the regular Un-Earthly because of the oak flavoring, it seems that there was an alcohol prickling on the tongue from the oak, I think the oak aging is sort of a small nuisance, the oak prickling and 11% alc. are a bit much in alcohol flavor in this ale, I prefer the regular Un-Earthly.
