Sep 22, 2008 In as much as I wasn’t wowed by the Red Rocket, I was blown away by the double! Deep amber in color, rich and malty, yet overly hoppy. So many beers here that a hophead would love. Big frothy head, tons of hop aroma. Nice stuff!

Oct 30, 2007 GABF 2007: Imperial Red. Poured an almost clear deep chestnut color with a beige head. Malty, toasty, and nutty with some hops. That is for both the aroma and flavor. Full bodied and silky. Good warmth.
