Oct 4, 2009 Poured a medium copper with fluffy head.
Nose was big with C-hops, nice rye smell, almost has a caraway hint to it.
Taste was a nice surprise, tons of big and bold west coast hop flavors, good caramel and rye backbone to hold up and offer balancing mouthfeel and flavors.
Might be the best under $5 bomber i’ve had all year.

Sep 20, 2009 22oz bottle. Pours a very dark and hazy amber/maroon colour. Definately feel the malty side more then the hops, but its a sweet balance. Nice little lingering after taste. Don’t notice a hint of the 10% alc at all. Very smooth drink, quite tasty.

Sep 20, 2009 not a fan of the HeBrews in general but this stuff is pretty good... a nice surprise. got it at whole foods for under 5 bucks which is unusual for a 22oz double ipa. i probably wouldn’t have bothered with it even then, but it was a rye... so i kinda had to buy it. very malty, excellent aroma and flavor, not syrupy in any way. about 8 or 9 years ago moylan’s had a barleywine recipe that tasted very similar to this. someone over there knows what they’re doing.

Sep 8, 2009 Aroma: resinous, honey, malty
Flavor: caramel, rich malt, honey with a hint of rye on the finish.
Comment: Double IPA with Rye. Aged One year. Cross between Hercules IPA and Devil Dog. Great mouth feel. Some supporting bitterness but mostly sweet, creamy malt dominates. Good, not great ƙ/08).
