Draught. Pours dark amber-brown with a moderate white head. Aroma is fairly complex malts (citrus, caramel, and maybe honey) along with citrus and floral hops. Flavor is citrus and earthy hops against the same malt backbone, with bittering hops in the finish. Pretty good on the whole; a very robust IIPA. I probably slightly prefer the 60-minute IPA (contrary to most people here), but this is an excellent beer as well.

Oct 7, 2008 I’ve bought it in Amsterdam, Cracked Kettle. Nice amber-copper color with a lacing creamy head. Caramel, some roasted perfume and hop resin in the rich nose. Oily texture, smooth and balanced mouthfeel with a fantastic hop flavor, caramel malt and citrus tastes. The aftertaste is nice and hopfull and complex too. Delicious, fine, exciting! Please give me more beers like that!

Oct 5, 2008 Awesome light golden copper color, with a big fluffly off white head that seems to never go away. lots of lacing on glass. Nice earthy smell, bit of carmel and alot of hops. Nice bitter taste of hops and citrus with a raisiney finish.

Oct 5, 2008 Lovely looking amber coloured imperial ipa with a small sticky head that leaves nice lazing on my snifter. Neat, bright caramell aroma with well integrated hops. Great oily, full bodied with a malty, fresh hoppy taste. Crisp, hoppy and perfumey finish and a sweet, lingering malt aftertaste on a soft, bitter base. Incredibley balanced, dangerously drinkable.

Oct 5, 2008 Bottle bought @ Knightly Spirits,Orlando in February. Drunk at home in UK. A beefy, full in the face IPA with the extreme hoppiness balanced by a strong maltiness and background sweetness. A lovely beer. Also had the 60min; would love to try the 120mins!

Oct 5, 2008 A lovely tasting IPA that feels warm and fuzzy in the mouth. A truly bitter beer mellowed by a raisiny, brandy flavor. A superb beer that I can’t say enough good things about.
