Dec 24, 2006 Clear light mahogany pour under a light stone khaki head. Aroma of lemon zest, toffee and light coffee. Tastes like a comination of an IPA and am American Strong Ale with plenty of grapefruity hops, roasted malt, vanilla, caramel and milk chocolate. Sweet and mildly bitter finish with some alcohol presence - especially as the brew warm a bit.

Dec 18, 2006 Pours a clear amber color with an off white head. Aroma is of citrus hops, earth spices, corriander, and some caramel. Flavor starts off with the corriander and spices that give way to the citrus hops. Decent bitter finish that lingers. Pretty delicious brew.
