This was awesome, served from tap a Ventis basement bar.

Sampled during RBSG 7/11/2009 on tap at the brewery. This American Strong Ale pours a dark reddish color from the tap. Small to medium sized beige foamy head. The aroma is malty with some piney hops. A medium bodied American Strong Ale. The malts are caramel and sweet. The hops are piney and grapefruity. Nice balance. Good carbonation. Nice Amped up version of Red Rocket. Lots of malts, lots of hops. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours brown with a dense, light brown head. Aroma is thick with caramel, toffee, and citrusy hops. Also a faint hint of chocolatey roastedness. The flavor is heavy of caramel and toffee with various fruits: sweet, dark, citrusy, you name it. It ends bitter, but not as much as you would think. Surprisingly medium bodied as well. Really nice beer that seems to stradle a few different styles, taking the best of all of them.
