Jul 31, 2005 Bottle: Courtesy of DarkElf via trade. Lots of caramel, toffee, and banana bread in the aroma. Hops are present but the malts dominate the aroma. Pours a deep red with some transparency and a nice off-white head that becomes a small ring. Lots of caramel and banana bread up front. Big piney hop finish. Reminds me much more of the hoppy barley wines as opposed to an IIPA, which I don’t have a problem with.

Jul 28, 2005 Clear darkish amber, honest off-white head. Complex hop aromatics in the nose are backed by a more than fair toasted malt molasses-cookie like. Sweaty and earthy, vibrant and evolutive. Good balance for the style, rich malt and rich hops, no mistakes and we avoid the traps of acidity. Straightforward perhaps, but enticing, rich hop flavors array, going from one citrus to the other with tangerine surprisingly winning. Ample bodied, fair soft carbonation.

Jul 24, 2005 Plain amber, creamy head, medium carbonation. Hoppy aroma at front with mat, butter underscore. Acidic, citric hop flavours. Hops are very intense here, palate killer.

Jul 24, 2005 Poured a hazy, amber brown color with an off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of pine, citrus grapefruit, floral hops, sweet caramel, and biscuity malts as well. Piney, resiny hop taste, more bitter grapefruit, a touch of alcohol.

Jul 22, 2005 Bottle from Rastacouere. Big thanks, David! Nice clear orange-brown, nice lasting tan head. Fantastic hop pellet aroma. Love it! Chewy sweet malt and hop flavor. Extremely assertive! Reminds me of Double Bastard. Bitter Biter hop pellet finish. Could drink tis all the time every day. Not for whimps, this is a palate buster.
