Bomber. Dusty mild aroma with mild cirtus and pine. Pours an opaque murky brown with a large frothy beige head. Taste is very bitter but not extreme, cracker and bread up there just as strongly, thick body with omnipresent alcohol. Lightly herbal and rather earthy, enjoyably needley but heavy and a little depressing.

Dec 16, 2008 Bottle thanks to 505flavours. Alround rating: Lots of caramel and caramalt, lots of bittering grassy hops, some citrusy character too. I dont really know what to say here, its drinkable stuff enough but just lacking the excitment i generally expect from such an ale.

Nov 18, 2008 Pours with a ton of head. Aroma is nice and malty. Very tasty. Lots of caramel. Quite good. Another “I only bought one bottle” situation. And the brewery went out of business.

Oct 31, 2008 Draft at Old Town Alehouse. Pours amber orange with a lasting sticky off white head. Nice lace left behind. The nose is sweet peach Jolly Ranchers with a twang. There’s a lot of caramel and grassy hops, but the flavor is pretty muddled and not really all that good. Medium-full body with average carbonation. Bitter finish. Not very memorable at all. Oh, and there is no way this is imperial. Hell, its not even double.

Oct 7, 2008 2007 vintage. Amber pour,modest head,good lacing. Other than that a pretty unremarkable beer. Mild hops with some malt with caramel and a hint of citrus.Pretty weak for an impy. Not a stand out. $4.99 bomber.
