Sep 10, 2007 12 oz. bottle, from slob (I think). Pours a hazy dark amber with a thin white head, looks a little underwhelming in the glass. Aroma is old ale-ish, sweet dark fruits, brown sugar, vanilla and oak with citrus and floral notes as well. Sweet and syrupy flavors, nutmeg, molasses, hops are present though understated with noticible alcohol. Full body, tickling, creamy carbonation.

Sep 7, 2007 Thick foamy head, pale amber pour. Malt and vanilla on the nose. Sweet malt, vanilla, and some oak in the flavor. Malt overpowers the hops, but it works. Fair amount of heat, nice full mouthfeel. Good beer, but expensive.

Sep 7, 2007 Pours an amber color with medium head. Very sweet aroma with some pine. Taste was sweet as well with some oak and citrus. The alcohol is quite hot in this beer.

Sep 7, 2007 nice color and taste, love good IIPA’s like this one :) a little on the tame side with bitterness, could’ve had a bit more.

Sep 5, 2007 Quite interesting....and quite sweet. and not in a "sweet dude!" kind of way. This is not what I would’ve expected to be a double IPA, and I was a bit disappointed.

Aug 28, 2007 12 oz bottle, via cewldre. Pours a clear copper body under a small fizzy off-white head that faded to a partial covering. The nose is big resinous hops over a very sturdy toffee and caramel malt base. Very light but noticable oakiness. Quite unique among IIPAs, the sweet caramel and toffee malt are in the forefront with only moderate bitterness. A little vanilla, oak, and hot alcohol. A slight huskiness emerges late with lots of brown sugar. Mouthfeel is full bodied, just shy of syrupy with lots of sticky risidual sugars. Moderate fizzy carbonation. Overall, I’d call this interesting, but not especially great.
