Hazy amber with a fleeting head. Good aroma is sweet caramel and citrusy, spicy hops. Full bodied and very smooth. Heavy flavors of candied malts and sappy hops slaps your palate, definitely a sipper here. Unique for a good Imperial IPA in that the 10% is noticeable but doesn’t get in the way, enjoyed this one.

Jul 4, 2008 Super sweet caramel smell from the off white head and hazy cloudy orange pour. Mouthfeel is huge...a big round malty sweet thick syrupy glob of hops, sugarcane, biscuis soaked in gin, rye, pumpernickel....not an aggressive IPA--but certainly intense. Big on flavour, kind of light on the finish--but well made and would certainly drink again.

Jun 28, 2008 22oz bottle. Pours a deep, dark rudy/amber color. Aroam was mainly sweet malt and citrus hops. Really thick for a IIPA. The flavor was sweet and earthy with thicky maly presence.

Jun 16, 2008 Bomber. Nice hoppy aroma over roasted caramel tones. Hazy copper amber color with a smear of bubbles for head. Full bodied with light fizzy, creamy carbonation. Rather malty sweet with a lot of hop. It’s primarily fruity hop rather than resin. Grapefruit. Finish is sweet sticky thinning away to leave a little roasted note with a deal of hop bitter. It’s really full and hoppy.

Jun 2, 2008 Updated: Jun 5, 2008Bottle, courtesy ditmier. Pours a clear murky copper, has a fluffy white creamy head and thick lacing. Big, creamy vanilla malts in the nose, followed by bitter hops, ending with cinnamon and spice. Flavor as a fairly prominent hoppy burn off the bat. Creamy malts, raspberry, brown sugar. Very unique. Sticky mouthfeel, not as tasty as aroma suggested. Enjoyed it for its uniqueness though.

May 29, 2008 bottle, pours a tangerine color with sour grapefruit notes, head is very wispy and short lived, flavors of sweet malt and animal crackers are excellent to go with the pineapple finish, great flavors for my preference
