Oct 11, 2008 Had on tap at Lunar Brewing. Served in a snifter. Pours dark amber with beige head. Aroma is toasted malts, caramel, dark fruits, spices and some hops. Flavor is malts, caramel, citrus, dark fruits, hops and a little chocolate. Sweet and sticky but not overdone. Has a nice malt balance. Thought this was a great brew and for $5 you cant beat it.

Oct 9, 2008 The head on this beer is better than a lot of beers, just wonderful. The flavor has a bit of malts, a great bitterness, and pretty dry in the finish. Certainly a nice beer, but I’m glad I won a bet for $10 that the Broncos would beat the Raiders, because I can shell out $5 for this any day, but 15? not so much. That lowers the overall score a little.

Oct 7, 2008 I see Imperial Red and think Red IPA but I got Imperial Amber (sigh). Moderate head on rich dark red amber. Aroma of vanilla, cinnamon, peppermint and rubber. Kind of a muddy malt soup flavour with a little hops. Not a lot of joy in the bottle for me.

Oct 5, 2008 Sample draft from WBF in Durham. Rich malty red, with nice toffee and fruity notes. I dig this beer. Nice floral hop profile: very prominent but not over the top and well matched by the malt. A bit bready. Cloudy red/amber pour with off-white head. Tasty.

Oct 4, 2008 (Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival, 26 Sep 2008) Ruby red colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, nutty nose with dark fruit, wild berries, cherries, raspberries and a touch of chocolate. Fruity, malty taste starting with notes of dark fruit, cherries and blood oranges leading to chocolate, a hint of cocoa and moccha, leaving with a decent citrussy bitterness. Medium to full body, with alcohol firmly in the background. Complex stuff and a nice beer.

Oct 3, 2008 On tap at Ginger Man. Pours a dirty brown with a thick tan head. Aroma of caramel and toasted malt, flowery hops, and perfumy sweet malt. Flavor of cracker malt, sweet fruits, raisin, raspberry leaf cookies, and slight iced tea. Nice and tasty.

Oct 2, 2008 Bottle: Poured a deep hazy copper color ale with a good size foamy head with good retention and great lacing. Aroma consists of big caramel malt notes with some slightly bitter notes also discernable. Taste is also a mix between some big caramel malt with some slightly dry bitter hops at the end. I was expecting a hop bomb since the bottle is relatively fresh but all I got was a big malt bomb (not that this is a bad thing I just wasn’t expecting it). Full body with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Well done.
