Jan 21, 2008 The Dan Journal #151. Tasted 1/14/08. 22oz bomber. Murky with a hazy brown hue. Layer of taupe head. Citrus fruity nose. Multiple fruits. Strawberries and red licorice. Big and full bodied. Mild yet atractive burn. Really enjoyable drinking!

Jan 17, 2008 The bottle poured rich amber with dark cherry hues and an inch of sticky tan foam. Intense malt aroma with pungent hop accents. Smooth with bread crust and caramel flavor a bitter roasted finish.

Jan 13, 2008 bottle - Pours dark copper with a two finger white head. The hoppy aroma has some slight notes of citrus and pine, but not a lot, and a little malt. The body is maltier than I expected though some strong hops flavor is still there. I thought it was easy going for a double IPA, so I guess I can see the characterization of it here as an American Strong Ale instead. It’s a decent beer, but lacks the nuances of a great one.

Jan 10, 2008 I’d never heard of this brewer, but was happy to find something new at Sweetwater Package. Hop characteristic was mostly pine/spruce; very little in the way of fruity hops. Clear brown, clear color. Moderately bitter flavor and very crisp. An OK strong IPA, but a better strong ale. The strong ale characterization is more accurate.

Jan 6, 2008 Kind of a brassy, medium brown/amber body with a thin ring of bubbles along the sides of the glass. Heavily fruity aroma - lots of plum and prunes. Some caramel in there,and heavy on the malts. The flavor is the same, except that bitter hops also abound. It tastes quite oxidized, actually. Like its been sitting around for awhile.

Jan 6, 2008 A strange beer, this - medium ruby in color, with a compact, short-lived head - aroma of piny hops, molasses, burnt sugar, corn syrup - thin-bodied - flavors of caramelized brown sugar, corn syrup, stale hops - over-ripe, nearly rotting fruits - the hops and spicy character near the finish almost balance out the beers artificial-tasting sweetness - finishes with an almost bock-ish caramel and fruity character - decent.

Jan 1, 2008 Well, for a double IPA, it’s not as hoppy to the nose as I expected. A nice brown color with only a slight head that didn’t last long. Has a sweet malty flavor and then a nice bitter bite to finish. Not bad.

Dec 31, 2007 Dark in color but still transparent. Aroma is grassy, piney, alcohol. Flavor is pretty much the same with the alcohol coming through a little to strong, spicy hop bite, with a heavy malt body. Dark and bitter is a good description. Nothing exceptional.
