Brown amber in color with a thick head. Smells exactly like white sage (you hippies know what I am talking about). Taste is a coarse dirty gritty woodsy flavor that is interesting. Texture is almost gritty as well. Overall, not too bad. I was expecting much more hops and was let down a little bit. (high points on smell for reminding me of my hippie youth)

Mar 10, 2008 Very dark brown amber with a nice tan head. Sugary malts mixed with piney, resin hops on the nose. Fresh, dancing pine hops with some grapefruit pith. Some sugar flavors near the end with a nice long bitter finish. Very nice DIPA that is easily drinkable.

Mar 9, 2008 Very solid barleywine. Nice golden/amber pour. Nose was slight bitter with hop, a little chocolate and a nice burnt caramel malt. Great drinker, a little dry.

Mar 4, 2008 pours a dark amber with ai rich head. Smell is very fresh and clean with evergreen and pine scented hops. Taste is bitter and fresh again with a strong piney hoppy flavor and lasting bitterness. Some richness in the flavor as well. Didn’t blow me away, but was still nice.

Mar 4, 2008 Bottle. Nose is loaded with sage followed by a touch of hops. Clear amber with patchy head. Boring flavor, dry bitterness with a coarse palate.

Mar 3, 2008 Pours a dark golden brown, filmy head. Wonderful smoked malt and chocolate aroma. Dry bitter smoke hops with a well balanced wood flavor. Palate is a little thin and watery. This is an IPA?! Seriously? Alright.

Feb 23, 2008 This brew sports a clear, extremely dark crimson red body. A small, frothy, cream colored head settles to a wispy film with a prominent edge. Lacing is spotty and scattered. Dark caramel sets the malt base, accompanied by a hefty dose of dry grains and copious amounts of grassy and resinous pine hops. The flavor is bold in its aggresive, bitter hop character. Substantial caramel malts and even a touch of honey attempt to balance this one out, but ultimately the scale tips towards sharp and bitter. Dry grasses and sharp, green pine attack the tongue. The body is substantial and slightly syrupy. This aggressive brew has some Arrogant Bastard in it. Solid offerring.

Feb 20, 2008 Bottle shared with Pantanap before "An evening with Pantanap #3". Dark ruby brown with small biege head. Grassy green hop aroma with caramel malt. Green pine flavor with grapefruit, caramel, good strong bitterness but balanced. Medium creamy body. Well done, nice and hoppy. Thanks Kan!
