Feb 26, 2009 12 oz bottle. Catty citrus hop aroma along with caramelized sugars. Clear mahogany brown. Full body and mouthfeel. Mostly just a nice balance of caramelized maltyness and American hops. Excellent.

Feb 12, 2009 12oz bottle poured into a tulip.
Pours a dark, clear copper with a huge rocky tan head that shows great staying power and leaves lots of lacing.
Aroma has an interesting mix of the citrus and floral hops and a huge heavy caramel malt base with lots of dark fruits and molasses. Some vanilla as well.
The taste has the same citrus hops up front with some grapefruit before the big sweet caramel malt base takes over. The finish swings back in the hop direction with a prickly bitterness.
The mouthfeel is sticky sweet, smooth and velvety. Soft carbonation is present but not overdone.
A very nice beer with lots of complexity but still drinkable.

Bottle received had a good ’til date of Oct’ 06.
Pours murky orange with light brownish head.
Aroma was a mix of malty and floral hops with strong grainy nose.
Taste had significant dose of caramel malts and not much of hops to be noticed.
Don’t know what to think of this one, wish I had a newer bottle to get a better idea.

Jan 19, 2009 Clear brownish-red pour with a dirty white head. Strong combination of both citrus hop and toffee malt in the aroma. This beer is well balanced and not overly dominated by one character flavor. The caramel and toffee malts blend very well with the bitter citrus hops.
