Sep 13, 2005 Bottle. Tasty stuff. Some nice spicey, almost cakey caramel flavours, mixed with some orangey, and quite floral hops, dark fruit in there aswell, perhaps the balance isn’t quite there, but theres so much good flavour in here, very nice.

Jul 13, 2005 Sample from bottle provided by the astoundingly generous Ungstrup at RBSG Montreal. Dark caramel-cola hue tinged by lasting foam and a bit of lace...burnt caramel and figs try to stay alive in the fierce citrus assaulting the nostrils...but the body is amazingly smooth despite being touched by rough charcoal, licorice and dark chocolates, roasty and smoky with dried hops surprsingly muted...almost seems an IPA-alt mix to me, with little to no alcohol obviously present. Very well done for sure.

Apr 23, 2006 Cherry malt nose, hazy brown color. Caramel malt, cereal grains. Big hop bitter, broad and across the whole mouth. Heavy body, warming alcohol effect on the way down. Excellent.

Jul 11, 2005 2005 RBSG Montreal Friday Night Tasting. Very dark amber colour, frothy tan coloured head. Toffee, piny, fruity, pithy, and caramel aroma. Toffee, light chocolate malts, with a grapefruit, dark fruit, and citrusy bitter finish. Full bodied, smooth but a bit syrupy mouthfeel.

Mar 16, 2008 Pours a deep, deep brown hue with a light tan head with some of the best lacing I have seen in a while. Aromas of pine, a little floral, dried fruit. Flavors of pine, citrus a light cocoa note with a light, somewhat creamy mouth feel. While many compare this to bigfoot, I find it to be a lot smoother both with alcohol burn and finish. The chocolate malts add a nice roast to the finish.

Mar 20, 2008 Bottle. Brown beer with a tan head. Citrus, caramel, earthy, pine aroma. Rich malt flavor with lot of hops - malt, caramel, pine, citrus. Medium bodied. Lingering malt, pine. Balanced - nicely done. More of an ASA than a IIPA

Jul 30, 2005 At the 2005 RBSG. Murky brown beer out of the bottle (but I think I got the bottom of the bottle) with a big foamy egg shell head. Nose of malt extract syrup. Great complex flavors with orange, peach, apple sauce. Lots of citrusy hops on a strong dark caramel malty sweetness. Very well balanced. I would not have picked it as an IIPA, but it is a great beer.

Aug 3, 2005 Hazy dark amber w/ a large, creamy pale tan head. Robust aroma of resiny, woody (pine, spruce) hops against a background of caramel, chocolate, & dark fruit. Full- bodied, sticky, oily feel. Flavour is intensely bitter but well-balanced & surprisingly malty. Finish is very long.
