Dec 21, 2009 clear amber, smooth light brown/yellow head.
caramelly and old hoppy aroma, also some sour or acid hops, sort of like a barley with some fresh ipa mixed in, and tons of caramel. strange.
flavor is strong caramelly, malty, strong hoppy, sugary sweet, somewhere between barley wine and IPA.
mouthfell is good. alc is hidden. very flavorfull.

Nov 21, 2009 Bouquet of cherries, pineapple, and dried leaves. Hazy amber, thin head, good lacing. It tastes of fig and horehound, quite bitter. Overly long lasting bitter finish. It didn’t flip my trigger, but I appreciate the one hop attempt, even if it was Hallertau.

Nov 9, 2009 22 oz. bottle from Ludlow Wines. Pours a reddish color with a small off-white head. Aroma of caramel malt, alcohol, floral hops, chocolate malt, mild spices, and mixed fruits. Flavor of caramel and chocolate malts, hops, spices, berry fruits, citrus, and warming alcohol. Sweet and malty up front, more bitter and alcoholic late. Medium bodied. Another solid ’Imperial’ offering from Southern Tier, albeit not as easy to drink as the others, as it packs some punch.

Oct 31, 2009 Bottle. Pours a amber body with a slightly "red" haze and slight white lacing. Aroma is sweet hop. The flavor is extremely smooth, slight hop flavor and maybe the chocolate malts very briefly making an appearance.

Oct 24, 2009 22oz bomber from 16th street liquor in West Van. I’ve had this before but didn’t rate it at the time. Nose is somewhat IPA like...hops, taffy like malt. Pours a clear copper with thick head. Taste is predominantly malt, somewhat caramel like, with hope present but very much in the background and then lingering in the finish. Alcohol is well integrated. This is another solid imperial offering from ST, just not my favorite of the bunch.
