DuffMan (5192) - the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, CANADA - JAN 2, 2013
Bottle, shared with Parksy and Grippitis. Deep hazy amber orange with a thick creamy off-white head. Sweet caramel malt in chewy proportions with a fruity intense hop profile (Simcoe?), saved from being too sweet by a nice toastiness. Imperial reds can be too cloying for me sometimes, but this one was excellent.

(22oz bomber thanks to bu11zeye) clear amber, wispy offwhite bubbles. Nose of honey, waffles, light bitter hoppiness, rich, creamy, light alcohol presence. Taste of caramel, light bitterness, juicy citrus fruit, creamy finish, light tart palate.

savnac (2056) - Anchorage, Alaska, USA - JUL 6, 2012
22oz bottle. Murky copper with a foamy beige head and lacing. Aroma is mostly sweet caramel with some pine and citrus. Flavor is sweet caramel with a medium hop bitterness and well hidden alcohol. Medium body with a slightly syrupy mouth feel. Big caramel bomb that is fairly balanced out by the hops and alcohol. Nice.

Copper, clear, off white head. Aroma: piney resiny hops with some grassy notes, underlying toasty malt. Flavor: resiny and grassy hops, grainy malt with some toast and a little caramel, finish is fairly balanced. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

22oz bottle picked up at The Grapevine in Pocatello

Very nice and tasty. Bitter and hoppy, just the way I like it.
