COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Imperial Red was originally brewed in 2008. It is deep copper chestnut in color with toffee, brown sugar, nuts and spice aromas. A rich supple entry leads to an off-dry medium-full body of tangy raisins and citrus marmalade, bittersweet chocolate, and mild spice flavors. It finishes with a long nutty, fruity fade.

Malts: Great Western Harrington, Klages, Hugh Baird Crystal, Black, Munich, Chocolate and rolled oats. Hops: Willamette, Cascade and Chinook. Yeast & Water: Rogue’s Pacman Yeast & Free Range Coastal Water.

(7 ounce bottle- tumbler glass) Dark reddish brown color with little head and thin lacing. Aroma is a caramel, toffee malt. Hops are present in the taste but less noticable in the aroma. Medium bodied, sticky thick texture, soft carbonation and finish starts off sweet than slowly becomes bitter. Overall a great beer that dosent meet any classifications.

Wow, only 58 IBU’s, I would have guessed more. This is light amber with lovely smooth citrus hop flavor and nose. slight, light, clean caramel malt sweetness. Nice.

Strong hoppy, complex fruit flavor. Don’t really get the mini bottle thing, although the price is better than the $7 for an imperial pint.

phaleslu (3183) - Saint Louis, Missouri, USA - JAN 29, 2011
7 oz. bottle from Wine and Cheese Place. Pours a cloudy brown color, brighter on the edges and dull in the middle, with a small off-white head. Aroma of caramel malts, brown sugar, cardboard, butterscotch, earthy hops, toast, and crackers. Pretty sweet. Flavor of caramel malts, wet leaves, earthy hops, wood, and cardboard. Light-medium bodied, with moderate carbonation and an earthy mouthfeel. Some bitterness on the finish. Not really sure what kind of beer this is supposed to be but it’s all right.

Davros (919) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - JAN 6, 2011
Pours brown with red highlights and a small head. Nose shows a mix of rich malt, resinous hops and booze. Lots of crystal malt with golden syrup, caramel, toasty and nutty notes. Pretty serious stuff. Flavours are quite different, seemingly focussed on a big hop presence, but with some malt and booze creeping back in later. The powerful bitterness well and truly counters the sweetness. Carbonation is too high here, if it was tapered back it’d really allow the malt to shine.

Nikiel (675) - Boulder, Colorado, USA - JAN 2, 2011
Smells sweet, similar to condensed malt or wort. Tastes sweeter than the typical red, and lingers after its done. Unfiltered
