Dec 31, 2008 Bottle, 12oz. The almost clear, amber body is topped by a beige head of moderate size, and releases aromas of sugars, some vanilla and piney hops. Sweet, full-bodied and slightly warming in the mouth, almost candy sweet. Vanilla, resin and pine-cones also chime in. Malty-sweet and piney in the finish. The beer needs a little time to reveal all of itself, and when it does, it’s a good one. Still, nothing extraordinary, as I maybe expected. (081003)

Dec 30, 2008 Bright reddish amber, a delight to behold. Very sweet caramel aroma, overlaid by leafy hops. First taste is sweet, rising swiftly in a sharp bitter crescendo to a piney, hoppy conclusion with oily Seville orange and peachiness. I thought this was rather more stylish and drinkable than the standard version.

Dec 29, 2008 Thanks, bro! Pours a ruby color with lots of particulate and a medium whispy off-white head that leaves lots of lacing. Aroma is piney hops, caramel malts, and oak chip juice. Taste is...um...a malt-driven IPA that has been brewed in mulch you’d buy from your local nursery. Not horrible, but nothing worthy of the 97 percentile.

Dec 28, 2008 Pours dark dark amber with a white head. Good taste of wonderful smoked hops. Very smooth feel in the mouth with a good finish.

Dec 27, 2008 12oz bottle at Winking Lizard Crosswoods location. Pours a deep amber with a huge off-white head. Hoppy aroma with some caramelly malt. Nice sweet and bitter balance on the flavor. Drinkable considering the abv.
