3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On draught at Brickskeller: Hazy redish amber body with a medium beige head that really sticks atop the beer throughout the whole glass, along with some lacing. The aroma has some alcohol, very bitter hops, pine, grapefruit, and caramel, with hints of sweet spice. The taste has some noticable alcohol, pine, citrus, grapefruit, caramel, light roast, pine bark, and very spicy hops. Finishes quite bitter with some sticky sweet caramel syrup and pine notes. Medium bodied, medium carbonated, thick & syrupy at times.

Draft, thanks for the sample argo0. Dark amber body with a creamy off-white head. The aroma is roast, caramel with plenty of piney hops. The flavor is fairly bitter, grapefruit, pine, caramel, somewhat dry, plenty of alcohol in this one. The mouthfeel is chewy with tight carbonation and a warm finish.

Tap at Andy’s. Orange body with a tan creamy head. Bitter after taste. Good blend no notice an the %.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Tap, color and consistency of turbid water, very small off-color head. Aroma is very strong and earthy, definate raisin aroma and flavor, tastes as if aged in wine barrels, fantastic flavor - although not the best for somewhat warm evenings, would be better served during the dead of winter. I like this one, and will get it again (if the chance arises) in colder climates.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
On tap. Dirty dark brown color, small brown head. Malty sweetness of dark fruits and molasses, with just enough dryness on the finish. Warming going down, with a lingering spiced tea flavor. In cold weather, I could drink nothing but this beer.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at Crunchy’s, East Lansing. Murky orange-red body, medium cream head. Caramely aroma with toast and bitter, citric hops. Caramely, bready malts give way to strong bitter grapefruit rind tones that strengthen in the finish, leaving a long, bitter aftertaste. This seems more appropirate as a winter beer than a spring/summer beer, but it’s on tap now, regardless. A solid offering.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught. Brown red appearance, hazy, aroma of a ginormous amount of hops. Flavor is offputting. You can’t taste anything because of the hops. Has malt--I can tel from alcohol aftertaste. Ridiculous beer. Although it does mellow some with time.... Reminds me of the Brutal Bitter...thanks to Rogue, we know what it is like to have too much hops.
