Feb 28, 2008 Updated: Jun 25, 2008Bottle--thank you unclemattie Brilliant jewel-tone ruby/garnet red with smallish head and some lace. Smells like--I know it sounds strange--stewed apples or caramelized apples. Palate is just right, not too thick, not too thin. The roastier malts make this one of the more balanced 2IPAs. Alcohol is a little detectable. It has vinous qualities. If the monster lived in my backyard I’d drink it regularly. It’s a quality brew and quaffable too
Re-rate of 2006 bottle. Muddy red-brown. Small dark tan head. Malty and metallic with oxidation apparent. Lots of chalk, minerals, and tannins. Chewy but low carbonation. Hops have mellowed and lost their character. 7-2-7-3-12

Feb 27, 2008 Bottle from Captain Couger. Pours Reddish with restrained but noticeable foam, in my anti-gravity glass.Very very smooth, though hoppy. Alcohol hits you without noticing in taste. Malty, satisfying, though not overly complex. Well balanced.

Feb 20, 2008 Pours a crystal clear maroon with a modest tan head. Leaves plenty of lacing with substantial retention.
Malt is the overriding aroma, with a huge dose of burnt brown sugar and a hint of booze. There are some subdued hop notes that manifest as herbal tinges.
Taste isn’t really true to this beer’s name. Malt is clearly the dominant flavor, with hops playing a minor role. The burnt character comes out in the flavor as well as the aroma. The hops come out in the finish as a bitter, tannic, tea-like note.
This beer is way overcarbonated, and not hoppy enough. Alcohol comes out with warmth and makes this the second (of two) Terrapin beers that I find overrated.

Feb 16, 2008 bottle (2007).....pours a dark reddish brown, very lively and cola like, a beige head that disappears abruptly.....chewy caramel malt take precedence over the hops as this has been sitting in the fridge for awhile.....flavors follow a similar path but the sugary malt gives way to a liight bitter finish in the end...i had this on tap while down in asheville and preferred it off the tap a little more.

Feb 15, 2008 Very dark for a double IPA. Pours dark red/brown with a soft khaki head. Big roasted malts, with a bit of that frosted flakes cereal taste to the toasted malts. Hops were floral and bold, citrusy and spicy. Thanks to Ughsmash for this brew.

Feb 15, 2008 Updated: Feb 16, 20082007 bottle...thanks to BigMilly8. Pour is deep mahogany with a thin head. Getting more malt in the aroma than hops, contrasting their description, but it is pretty light and pleasant....lots of caramel malts and dark fruit in the aroma. Flavor is damn good...lots of dark fruit (plums and raisins dominate) Lots of alcohol on the flavor as well with some bittering hops and some smooth malt in the finish...pretty complex beer overall! Was slightly worried this would be a complete hop bomb, and it wasn’t, which was a great thing! Palate is pretty oily, and pleasant. I’ve been pretty impressed with the Terrapin beers I’ve had so far, and this one didn’t disappoint. Great variation from a traditional IPA/IIPA!
