Pint @ Tyler’s in Apex. Great aroma, Sweet. Roasty. Cocoa, floral hops. Dark reddish brown color, good head that stayed for bit. Ok lace. Bittter sweet flavor, caramel, grapefruit bitterness. medium body, creamy mouthfeel, bitter finish. Great aroma, one to sniff for a while, the play between malts & hops is wonderful. Flavor fell short of aroma, narrowly bitter.

Draft @ Capones: Poured a dark red/brown with not much head. The aroma was hoppy with sweet malts. The flavor was hoppy as well, with some chocolate malts, spice and well balanced. Overall a really tasty brew that might get better with age.

Draft at Brouwers.
Apples, brown sugar, some hops on the aroma. Grapefruity hop flavor with burnt-ish chocolate malt. Extremely hot; this one felt 9% at least. I was underwhelmed.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
750 ml. ceramic bottle - 2008 release. Pours a deep, dark orange color with a thick white head that leaves lacing as it’s consumed. The aroma is hops, with notes of malts. Flavor is relatively hoppy, with a nice balance of malts. However, for what it was - it was far too expensive coming in at nearly 23 dollars a bottle.
