| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | 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 (3580), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 20, 2008 Pretty malty character. Quite hoppy but the malt overtakes the majority. Very well rounded double IPA loved it, Beardface (984), Eugene, Oregon, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | 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 (1585), Phoenix, Arizona, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | 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! dmac (1442), Toms River, New Jersey, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Oct 16, 2008 22 oz bomber from the Wine King. Pours a very good looking reddish amber with an ample size frothy light beige head that doesn’t leave much in the way of lace....could have been my Lucifer tulip though. Aroma is grapefruit rinds, caramel, peppery alcohol, and some grain in the mix. Medium to fuller bodied with light carbonation and a slightly syrupy/creamy mouthfeel. Flavor was similiar to the aroma with some citrusy hops, lots of caramel and now raisin and toffee making an appearance and finishes with some grainy notes and lots of alcohol. Thought I would be turning to Judaism before I sipped this one but luckily I will not have to go through all the studying and praying because this one won’t even make me skip church.
