Tap at Local Option served in a shaker. Cloudy but gorgeous chestnut color pour with a thick-laced white head. Faint aroma of malt grains. Taste is maltose than expected. Grain sweetness followed by Euro and resinous hops. Dries the mouth; flavorful.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at Old Fashioned 12/31, hope this isn’t a 2 year old keg. Pours a dark murky orange amber with a nice off white head and lacing in the glass, the aroma is more sweet than I was expecting with just a little bit of hops and bitterness coming through, the flavor is pretty sweet as well with a little bit of fruit and bitterness in the finish, sticky mouthfeel and is pretty thick, pretty good.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle: Now thats a deep and dark caramel colored IPA! Almost as thick as dirty pond water. Huge pillowy tannish head, almost appears to be infected. Very sticky lacing. Somewhat of a muted candied citrus peel nose, malty, no real hops to speak of. It also has a bit of candyish perfume to it. This is one sweetish smelling IPA. I like it! A little of that powdery pixie stix like aroma. Wow, very much muted hops on the tongue. Lots of candied citrus peel that is really musty. This has aged well, and almost takes on the characteristics of an aged Strong Ale or Barley Wine. Moderate body and mouthfeel. Has a sweetish citrusy and candyish hop aspect on the finish. This held up really well, and turned into something I can really appreciate. I wonder how this would have been fresh? Thanks Bob for this treat!
