High value for high craft. jvmiller (532), Bel Air, Maryland, USA Nov 1, 2008 Pretty good, more along the lines of a barley wine i thought. had the bitterness, but not the hop character. It was good, but not sure it confined to the iipa category. Malty. Rciesla (3510), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA Nov 1, 2008 Bottle. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Citrus pine and tons of rye in the nose and the flavor. Light caramel and toffee. okay. SudsMcDuff (1691), was CapeTown,SA-now Houston, Texas, USA Oct 26, 2008 pours with a big ole light tan head ... nice smell, pine like a freshly sawed down rain forest ... has quite a hop bite! ... smooth and quite hopped up, the abv is well done, i wonder if this is an NA ... berbatov is a badass .. i like the taste but it does seem muddled.. another brew i was happy to finally try... movezig (137), Pensacola, Florida, USA Oct 20, 2008 Pretty malty character. Quite hoppy but the malt overtakes the majority. Very well rounded double IPA loved it, Beardface (977), Eugene, Oregon, USA Oct 20, 2008 Pours a lovely reddish amber hue with a medium light brown head. Wonderful spicy smell with a hint of citrus as well. The flavor is heavily spiced with a whiskey essence and a nice bit of hoppy goodness. Little bit of alcohol presence as well but not overpowering. I think I just converted. Sparky27 (1559), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Oct 18, 2008 Bomber courtesy of SoLan. Pours a clear dark amber with a 2 finger creamy beige head and light lacing. Nose is real malty with some light floral hops. Taste is sweet caramel malt, alcohol and some bitter citrus hops in the finish that lingers and cuts the sugar. Medium, semi-creamy sticky mouth feel. Too sweet and malty for my taste, but not a bad beer. Thanks Alan!
