Dec 3, 2009 It has big hop notes on the nose after pouring dark amber. The bitterness and alcohol blend in nicely to mute the high abv. It has a nice deep bitterness with citrus peel notes that finish long with a complex note.

Nov 29, 2009 Bottle into pint glass. Bought this as a single because I needed one more to finish of a mixed six pack, and I thought the bottle was fun. WOW, am I glad I did! I really like this one. Pours cloudy mahogany color with about a one finger head. Aroma is nice, fruity, and I think a little caramel. Has a lot of hops that hit you, then you get the malts, and finishes with a great hoppy finish. Really great beer.

Nov 28, 2009 whooooaa....nice evil red lookin guy starin at me. Easy to drink yet super potent and tooth coatingly fabulous. roasted caramel, vanilla and even some almond get freaky with some powerful pined out hop backbone and they engage themselves in some old fashioned brew mixery for some well balanced and complex tastiness. Very well executed

Nov 27, 2009 Pours a dark, opaque, slightly reddish brown, almost mahogany, with a thick and fine-bubbled pale tan head. Hoppy aroma has just a hint of cloves. Flavor is quite hoppy but not too bitter, rather lip-smacking, with a spicy hint. Texture is tingly, fizzy and lively and leaves a pleasantly hoppy finish.

Nov 25, 2009 Bottle from Firemoose15. Pours deep garnet with a pretty large fluffy light tan head. Nose is surprisingly not over-the-top - nice bisuity malt and caramel forefront, with a substantial citric hop bitterness. Flavor is the nose - the caramelly malty goodness and bitter citric back of the palate hops are there all together. Light heat on the finish, but not in a bad way. I wouldn’t say I’m a huge ’imperial red’ fan as a rule, but this is a really nice beer. Thanks for sending this one, Mel. A winner.

Nov 24, 2009 Bottle, thanks to.. um.. whoever brought it. Citrus & a bit of resin, some nice malt going on too. Flavor has a bunch more malt than expected and some great hop presence. Nice bitter finish.
