poured on snifter. It appears a dark red with a small tan head and a clean body and it looks bit oily. it smalls like roasted nuts and burnt sugar. The flavor is noting but bitter hops and roasted nuts and at the end flowers. overall the best part of this beer is its sensation of thick full body and a nice carbonation.

Mix six from Total Wine. Darker golden pour with a white foamy head. Light floral and citrus smell (really light). Bitter with a distinct finish. Really no hops at all in the finish. I thought this was okay but it is strong.

Ultra smooth with a nice hoppy finish. Not for the faint of heart but an amazing beer.

UPDATED: MAY 10, 2013 12oz bottle pours a dark ruby red copper color with a thick fluffy off white head that leaves great lacing. Smells of rye, pine, and resin and grapefruit. Tastes of all the same things in the smell and is definitely boozy enough to taste the high abv. Mouthfeel is slightly oily and creamy with good carbonation. Overall this is a really tasty ipa. I like the way the rye goes well with the hops. The only downfall is the boozyness.

gururyan (476) - Stillwater, Oklahoma, USA - MAY 3, 2013
From bottle into snifter, clear deep ruby with lasting thick head. Smell is subdued, taste is quite nice up front but then it turns into a monster and does a piss poor job of hiding the 10% ABV...but that’s bittersweet. As long as you keep chugging and avoiding the ABV bite, it’s good. As soon as you stop...beware the demon. If you’re looking to get fucked up quick, load up. If you’re looking for something to savor, look elsewhere. Time to chug.

Bottle. Kinda misheard the bartender when I ordered this one, but why not. Not what I would expect at all in the nose for a RIPA. Hops are not where they should be at all. Too much rye with no focus on the hops.

Design des étiquettes à rendre jaloux bien des brasseurs... J’étais vraiment très curieux à propos de celle-là. Sincèrement, elle est intense, spéciale, mais il y a un peu trop de caramel par rapport à son amertume. Au nez, on n’a aucune idée de ce qu’il s’en vient.

thefederalist (275) - Jonesboro, Arkansas, USA - APR 11, 2013
Bottle. Pours a medium brown with a smallish cream colored head that leaves a thick lacing in the glass. Aroma of dark sugars and alcohol. Flavor is bittersweet across a thick mouthfeel. Very complex malt bill. Little in the way of aroma hops but plenty of bitterness. Finishes dry and tannic in the mouth. Not bad, but now my favorite IIPA - not nearly enough aroma hops for my taste.

jeremyh70 (355) - Missouri, USA - APR 6, 2013
Crystal clear dark orange/amber with good head and decent lacing. Aroma rye, alcohol and soapy hops. Flavor is big soapy bitter and somewhat grainy with rye spiciness apparent. Alcohol comes through strong in flavor and adds more spiciness, which throws it into overload for me. Mouthfeel is oily with medium body with high carbonation. Too much alcohol and soapy bitterness for my taste. ---Jeremy H
