Aug 1, 2006 12/05 bottle shared by Blake. Clear brown body, small tan head. Cooked banana, lemon peel, and chocolately coffee cake aroma. Not a hop monster. The flavor brings in a sweet toffee/caramel flavor under tasty mandarin orange, lemon grass, and acidic rhubarb. A well-done IIPA.

Aug 1, 2006 Thrid wee of Dec. 2005 bottle. The beer pours to a garnet hued copper body with a thin off-white head. Spotty lacing. The aroma is piney, sprucey, resins, citrus, sugary malt. The flavor is piney/sprucey/grapefruity with lingering resins. Decently malty and definitely sugary. The palate has a lingering resin. Smooth feel. Definite alcohol.

Aug 1, 2006 amberish brown color visable carbonation and a big thick light tan head w/ some great lacing. Smells nice.. sweet hoppy aroma great pine and citurs w/ a nice full carmel. Palate is biting.. oily full and creamy. Flavor is very bitter tastes of dry hopped malt comes through late. A lot of dry pine resin that i thought detracted, but good.

Jul 10, 2006 I just got this from Liquid Solutions with my FFTW order. Dec 2003 bottle!
I will re-rate when I get a fresh one.
Huge creamy tan head over a deep amber body.
Malty rich aroma with the vestiges of a big piney presence. Now, this is very much like a Big Hoppy Monster, dark and malty with lots of hops that serve in a supporting, not dominant role. Still lots of hops, but the malt is coming through from the aging.
Sweet, with a touch of spice. No longer hop heavy as it might have once been.
Full and smooth bodied.

Jun 30, 2006 rich dark copper with a one inch head. Very rich hop aroma with pine scents and sugars from the malt. Dark malt flavour with dry hops and grapefruit. Roasted almost burnt sugar cookies and citrus hops. Noticeable alcohol. Almost a smoked IPA.

Jun 28, 2006 22 oz bottle - if the markings on it were right, this was a 2003. Pours out dark red in color, smell is malty, and smells like hop oil. Taste is grassy, sharp, and dry. Its not bad, my taste for the double IPAs is slowly fading, I still like them alot, but the over the top bitterness is getting to me. Double IPAs used to be refreshing, and I still find some that are, but it seems that the growing trend is to just make them taste like you are eating a hop rather than balancing it out to get something that actually tastes good yet has a high bitterness too.

Jun 26, 2006 Bottle. 22oz. Pours a deep golden amber with a nice off-white head hat sitting on top. Hops and malts battle it out, but the hops win. The malts could have used some additional reinforcements to help stave off the hop attack. Still in all, this was a very nice 2IPA. Viscous, with light caramel sweetness. Thanks to wohlfs for the bottle.

Jun 20, 2006 Pours a clear amber syrup with some tiny floaters and a solid, creamy tan head. Hoppy, sweet malt aroma with pine and a hint of sweaty sock. Not as sweet in flavor as the aroma would suggest. Caramel malt and hops dominate with pine, citrus and some vegetative notes. A little oxidized.
