3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Sampled out of a 1L bottle. Pour is a cloudy amber with flavors mostly of caramel. There is also some red fruit flavors and a slight tinge of bitter hops on the finish. A little thin and disappointing really for something called a double anything. Looks pretty tasty though.
3.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 15/20
Hazy reddish brown with a small beige head. Very resiny hop aroma reminiscent of marijuana. Strong earthy bitterness tempered by a solid caramel backbone. Dry finish.

Bottle Thanks to JohnGalt1. If it was not for Toby I never would have nad this. The big Teton wax flip tops are not for me. Pours out a crisp clear amber topped with a light cream head.Aroma is of floral hops, some toasty malts and a little sweetness. Taste is much more of the toast malts and light nut..
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pour is clear amber with a fluffy dense khaki head...smell is sweet and toasty with some pears, fresh bread, and a slight hint of sourness (not good sour)...taste is sweet and musty at first with a very cereal sweetness...come caramel and molasses flavors as well...a little cardboardy (probably due to age)...some light bitterness is hanging out in there still as well...finish is lingeringly and not unpleasant...

2008 Bottle - Thanks JohnGalt1!! - Always love an opportunity to taste the GT reserves...this one pours clear, dk orange with a decent sized off white head...aroma is malty and grainy, sweet caramel, I’m the only one who got a little bit of maple, I swear it was there...flavour featured it also, but it might have just been some toasted malt, dry syrup, nutty and tries for sweet but remains fairly dry....massive carbonation didn’t help augment the taste, and it finishes a bit thin...glad I got to try it...
2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: DEC 26, 2009 Maybe it’s aged too long, maybe it’s just that it’s Organic. Whatever. It just doesn’t have any bite to it. The flavor is okay but generic. The strong point is the appearance, a nice semi-opaque reddish-brown with good foam retention. Flavor has a bit of nuttiness. Palate is soft but quite watery in feel. Kinda disappointed, really.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
i liter bottle from Rare Beer Club. Malty, nutty, toasty aromas. Pours rich amber red with a very thin white head. Rich malty and slightly nutty, toasted malts, caramelly with some spicy hops. Not bad.

2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Dated 7/10/08 Pours hazy amber with a big off white head. Big malty aroma. Caramel, fruity, and a bit of spicy hop. Flavor is sweet and grainy malt, with a little weak iced tea flavor. I would say that this bottle is past its prime.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Wax Dipped Flip top. Bottle date 11/11/08. Shared with TomThompson & Camerons crew post Beer wars. Medium amber pour. Caramel malts, vienna Eliot Ness similarity here. Lighter body, clean, malty sweetness. Decent but my least favorite of the Four Teton beers we had
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Copper colored with a small to medium head. Not sure this really counts as a strong ale given its ABV. Aroma of some caramel sweetness and a malt presence.
