Aug 19, 2009 Bottle from Jungle Jim’s.
Poured hazy brown color with an average frothy light brown head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate to heavy toffee, nuts, brown sugar aroma. Moderate to heavy smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium to heavy biitersweet flavor to medium to heavy bitter and alcohol burn finish of moderate to long duration.
My expectations where met with a good complex beer.

Aug 9, 2009 Spotted this one at Friendly Mini-Mart so I decided to drink the one I had purchased at Chuck’s in Chagrin Falls earlier this year. 2008 Vintage (I think). The aroma of this one is a pretty nice caramel malt that has been nicely aged. It has the bitterness rubbed off a bit to give it a more gentle flavor, more earthy tones and a little bit of brown sugar sweetness. The age hits it a slight bit negatively, but overall is quite good.

Aug 9, 2009 Had on tap in a snifter at J. Clyde in Birmingham, AL. This imperial red almost equals a normal IPA, just with bits of caramel roasted malt thrown in. Suprisingly citrusy for a red.

Aug 7, 2009 [2239-20090606] Sample. Sweet caramel toffee aroma has mild grainy toast. Hazy, dark amber brown body with a long-lasting foamy light tan head. Boozy caramelized grain malt flavour also has some sugary malt. Full body. Boozy but not overpowering.

Aug 5, 2009 Bottle at ’Mondial de la Biere 2009’, Montréal, QC. Pours a hazy orange-brown with a small tan head. Aroma of caramel and/or toffee, hops and alcohol. Flavour’s overly sweet and boozy, not enjoyable to drink. Average to medium bodied. I didn’t care for this.

Jul 27, 2009 On tap at the brewery on 6/28/09. Pours a dark hazy red with good lacing. Interesting balance of caramel, vanilla and pine and citrus aroma. Balanced beer with nice caramel sweetness, but a bit boozy.

Jul 23, 2009 Bottle: The aroma consists of toffee, caramel, light fruit, and aged hops. It pours a mostly transparent brownish-red with a small off-white head. The flavor starts with tons of caramel up front. There’s also some toffee and a hint of fruit. The finish has some aged citrus hops. Medium-full bodied with mild carbonation and slightly syrupy mouthfeel.
