Aug 13, 2007 Updated: Aug 14, 2007TRUMP! This double version pours a hazed honey color w/ a medium sized, semi creamy froth and reduces to a decent lace. I think it’s genetic. Looks like liquid caramel. The aroma is balanced w/ goopy malts and strict hopsy citrus rind. Nice! Full nectar w/ ample creamy residual effers. This is a malt bomb for sure but Robo Hop is right round the corner with his street sweeper and cleans the palce up nicely leaving asprin scar tissue to deal with. I am amazed a brew like this can be so well balanced. Fat caramel malts, and fat caramel malts meet up w/ a very strict curfew and like I said, Robo Hop is there to sweep up the mess. Chewy citrus caramel, leather, aged citrus rind, cotton candy essence, and a pinch of sodium. The finish is bittered perfectly and leaves a lingering asprin burn to remind me from whince I came. Drink with caution for the alcohol is hidden like a sniper in the mud. I could drink a few of these. I wouldn’t, but I could =) Highly recommended.

May 3, 2006 Updated: May 8, 2006I was very surprised at how easy to drink this beer is. For a double, it is surprisingly tasty! Very citrusy taste and aroma, yet very smooth. Do not under-estimate it’s strength! Alcohol is definitely present, but c’mon, it’s beer, not sprite. Maybe rate cola is a better site for you if you dont like tasting alcohol.

Mar 1, 2007 All I can say is WOW ..I had this on a sit down with Mike Earnheart from Dark Horse in a personal sitdown with THE GOOD BEER SHOW. This beer was amazing! Even though I had several beers that day this one kicked my ass. It fell somewhere between a Dogfish Head 90 and a Dreadnaught! Smooth creamy IPA without the overpowering typical cat piss aroma you get from other IPA’s. This beer was dry hopped to improve the aroma and it worked.All I can say is WOW..THANX MIKE!
