mdm46410 (613), Griffith, Indiana, USA Oct 2, 2008 Poured from a 22oz bomber and served in a tulip. This beer poured a dark, hazy amber with a one-finger thick head of creamy beige foam. Great retention and lace. The aroma of the beer consisted of sugary caramel malt, some rye spiciness, grapefruit rind, and oranges. The flavor included strong, upfront rye spiciness, caramelized sugar, light tea, bitter grapefruit, peach, and a shot of alcohol. The mouthfeel was thick and full-bodied. Minimal carbonation. Hoppy, malty, and spicy...tasty stuff. A well made big beer.
blipp (960), Grand Island, New York, USA Nov 26, 2008 Bottle. Pours orange amber with a dense and lasting off white head. The aroma is sweet and hoppy with light citric notes. The flavor is well balanced with sweet bready, almost toasty malt, along with some hoppy sweetness and grass. Not bad. KnutAlbert (2462), Oslo, Norway Nov 21, 2008 Raisins and sweet malt aroma.

It was good, but not sure it confined to the iipa category. Malty.
