22 oz bottle: Lightly hazed light amber w/ a short lived white head. Laces well and leave legs on the glass. Aroma is of wood, resiny hops, and spicy hop/alcohol combination, seemss like fresh ground ginger root. It all dominates the toasted malt aroma. Mild fruitiness. Flavor is much more assertive in the grapefruity hop area, more like the skin and pith when it comes to bitterness. Flavor is wood tannin, hops, very little malt flavor, but toasty when present. Moderate fruitiness from both hops and fermentation. Sweet up front, but quickly turns bitter in the finish and aftertaste. Drier finish. Warming alcohol, fuller body, dry mouth from alcohol and hops. Overall, i’m not a fan of the hops used. There is a spicy ginger aroma that I’m not a big fan of at the moment... Could use some aging IMHO.

Dec 19, 2009 Draught @ Brouwer’s Café: Ambery, large rocky off-white head, nice lacing, moderate carbonation, nice lacing. Acertive woody aroma, reminds me of cedar. Strong enough that I couldn’t tell you what the underlying beer is. Strong woody aspects on the tongue, sweet, hardly tell this is an IIPA. Minor citrusy sweetness. More of an IIPA on the backside, but up front its pretty strong in the wood category. Is there such a thing as a syrupy woody strong ale? The normal IIPA pales to the remainder of this brew. Clean, sweet, very woody and warming. Good beer, but the wood aspect dominates more than I would like. Still prefer the original.

Dec 18, 2009 Hazy amber color. The classic American hop aroma (resiny and fruity) is made milder by a nice vanilla component. Good body strength; sweet toffee flavor, with some caramel and fudge; it has a good amount of fruity American hops, and a nice note of vanilla oak; the alcohol gives a pleasant warmth.
This beer successfully add the oak/vanilla component to a strong IPA.

Dec 9, 2009 Bottle from theisti. Nose is more pronounced (but different) than the normal Un*Earthly. Lots of wood and wine tannin-like smells. Musty/earthy sugars, too. Flavor is a rush of caramel and sweetness to start, with some piney bitterness showing up later. Hint of boozy heat, but less than expected. The wood is more noticeable at first, less so as it warms. The wood character takes the edge off the bitterness, which may not necessarily be a good thing, since the sweetness dominates in this one. Good, not great. Thanks, Tim.

Dec 4, 2009 Straightforward amber color with a decent beige head. Aroma is subdued in the hops department compared to regular unearthly, mores the pity. A lot of sugary sweetness on the nose, almost like cotton candy, a little mustiness also, along with a hint of citrus. This beer just seems too sweet to me. It loses the hop kick to the sack that unearthly has. While decent, it isn’t special. Worth one try, but probably no more. Unearthly is FAR superior.

Dec 4, 2009 Bomber, pours golden amber with a thick white tan head. Aroma over the top malty sweetness, sugary , fruity and citrus. Flavor over the top hoppy smooth malty sweetness excellent tongue feel with a woody after taste. I like it a lot, although I think the oak aging takes a little away from the original. But its still good
