Aug 25, 2009 Growler from Bierkraft. Dark amber with nice tan head and lace. Caramel with medium roast and hop aroma. Toasted caramel with nice citrus and pine hop and subdued fruit. Pretty clean and fairly complex for an amber. Pretty good.

Aug 16, 2009 On tap at the GTMW. Amber with a medium tan head that laces it up a bit. Aroma of caramel and mild citrus hops. Taste of over baked caramel, light citrus hops – but mostly malt – wrapped up in a thin body. Not sure why they called this imperial.

Aug 10, 2009 Draft sample at MBGF Summer 2009.
Poured a clear dark amber color with an average frothy off-white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate tart citrus hop, yeast and small malt aroma. Medium body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Medium to heavy bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration.
My expectations where met, but a little sweet.
