Sep 29, 2008 Bottle, 12 fl. oz. Pours a clear golden beer with an offwhite head. The aroma is caramel with hops. The flavor is bitter and sweet. The mouthfeel ends up bitter. Complex taste and an interesting beer.

Sep 26, 2008 Pours a deep amber with a medium copper & slightly greenish head. I might be imagining the green because the hop aroma is so powerful that it makes me think I’m looking into a brew kettle that just got its first dose of hops. The aroma is a very strong resinous pine and slight citrus. The mouthfeel and flavor are a little on the syrupy side. The hops are heavy and the they overpower the slight cherry grape malt . But the hops are good if a little too far forward. There is more perceived alcohol than is really there. It is a delicious beer that reminds me of Stone Double Bastard. I couldn’t finish off the 6 in one night.

Sep 20, 2008 12oz. bottle. Clear chestnut pour supporting a thin light tan head with medium lacing. Sweet caramel and toasted malt aroma. Mildly malty flavor dominated by caramel and toffee with a restrained piney hop profile. Somewhat thin mouthfeel and a medium dry but lingering finish. A good beer but a stronger hop presence would be welcome.

Sep 18, 2008 Imperial Red? Mmm, okay. But I’m not the expert thus I dig. Mmm... Yes, "hoppy sweet nerve sack." That and it’s pretty malty and sweet. It has a grapefruit and caramel flavor; pine essence. It’s full. Yeaup.

Sep 6, 2008 Bottle, 2008 Pre-GBBF Chris o Shindig. Orange, bit of white head. Sweet caramel aroma, toasty biscuit, ripe grapefruit. Caramel-sweet flavor, spicy grapefruit hops. A touch sweet for drinking in volume, but very pleasant in a small dose.
