Sep 21, 2008 Nice rich color which seems darker than it tastes. flavor consists mostly of the hop and the alcohol. good beer but cannot say it is one of my favorites.

Sep 20, 2008 Pours an attractive rusty brown with just a tad of cloudiness and topped with a thick 1/2-inch caramel colored head. First sip is spicy hot with sweet malts and then finishes very bitter with a slight whiskey taste. What really stands out is this brews mouthfeel. It is creamy almost bordering on milkshake like thanks to a fantastic malt backbone. The 7.2% ABV is not well hidden.

Sep 20, 2008 Hops and alcohol alone do not make an IPA. I equate Sierra Nevada Anniversary ale or Doghead as what an American IPA should taste like. Although this is good - It does not satisfy my IPA craving. More like slightly ignorant then Arrogant bastard.

Sep 20, 2008 Bouteille brune de 22 oz. Arômes intenses de houblon américain, de malt caramel et de fruits rouges. Robe bourgogne, peu de mousse et légère effervescence. Très maltée, le caramel accompagne les fruits rouges et les pruneaux et mène à une finale relativement amère où le houblon (pamplemousse et résine) s’exprime. L’alcool est très bien dissimulé. Très bon !

Sep 19, 2008 Pours a translucent brown with a huge tan head. Nice initial hop aroma with some sweet fruit and caramel in the background. Can taste the alcohol in the flavor, kind of hides the other flavors. Light malt flavor quickly disappears as the bitter finish takes over your mouth. Good beer, but I may lack the sophistication to fully appreciate.

Sep 19, 2008 Bottle. Poured a hazy ruby brown with a frothy off-white head that settles to a thin layer that lasted and left some lacing. Sweet aroma of fruits and caramel malts with a hop background and light whiff of alcohol. The flavor is much the same, fruits, caramel and a hop background. More hoppiness comes out the more it warms. Light alcohol in the flavor also. Medium body that is slightly sweet up front but ends with a medium bitterness. Complex and excellent!

Sep 18, 2008 Pours a dark red, almost brown with a tan head. Aroma is of malts, caramel, citrus, and bitter hops. Taste starts malty, but then the bitterness sets in. Surprisingly, the taste is well balanced. Lingering taste of malts and caramel. The presence of alcohol isn’t detected among the bitterness and malts. Extremely tasty.
