On tap at Hollingshead deli dark brown pour with a small head,the flavor is a bit hoppy with some caramel notes, ok

Deep dark brown body with beige head. Aroma is a mix of citrus and cocoa. Get some dried fruit after coffee notes in the taste, moderate bitterness, medium body. Drinkable.

12oz bottle: Pours to a dark amber-brown with a medium tan head. The aroma is spruce, citrus hops, along with mild hints of licorice, roasted malt, light chocolate and a bit of over-ripe plum. The taste is bitter citrus/earthy hops up front, with a bit of fruity, almost strawberry hops next, then dry chocolate/roasted malt, a bit of fried banana, mild alcohol flavor, and then more hops. Finishes with a bit of earthy, grassy hops and bits of roasted malt, though definitely much milder roast flavor than that of a porter. Medium bodied, medium carbonated.

Pours a deep rich amber color with a tan head. Aroma is toast, biscuit, some roast, grassy, earthy, and some citrus. Flavor is caramel, biscuit, roast, and a bitter slightly astringent citrus finish.

A very intriguing brew. Looks like a brown ale, but has a massive amount of hops thrown in. It taste is like a charred IPA or something. I will re rate this later.

UPDATED: JAN 6, 2010 Rerate from an undated bottle. Actually, I feel the exact same way. Nevermind. Old rating follows. On tap @ Father’s Office. Clear ruby with a one finger light beige head, good retention. Lots of scorched toffee and earthy notes dominate, with some sweaty lemony herbal hops behind. Flavor has some stronger lemon sweat, but still plenty of the scorched toffee. Dry finish with bitterness peaking @ a 4-5, with some alcohol. Medium prickly carbonation with a medium-full body. OK. 7-4-6-3-13--3.3

Bottle, has a clear ruby pour with a large light tan & pale yellow head, there is some sediment in the bottle and little particles in the beer, so, this beer is not filtered, aromas of caramel, citrus and light fruit hops, roasted malt, brown sugar, little chocolate fragrances in the background, flavors of caramel, roasted malt, some candy and caramel sweetness, has a good hop bitterness at the finish, some malts and hops follow after the finish, the fight between the hops and malt in this beer end in the hops winning by a little bit, mouth feel is more than medium, feels a little sticky, good amount of carbonation gives a creamy feel on the tongue, if you like hops, you will like this beer, the alcohol is a bit more apparent than I would like and transgressed a bit.

On tap. Oh and I had heard such good things... Pours a dark reddish black brown color with a large foamy light brown head. Notes of paint thinner, dark brown sugar, and very faded hops. This beer is falling apart at the seams. It is completely unbalanced. It’s like a crazy chick after 2 xanax and 4 glasses of red wine. Unfortunate.

Bottle at Plovmand’s - Thanks. Clear brown - white head. Roasted malts, nic ehoppy, grassy, nice bitterness, chocolate, dryness, caramel. Nice bitter finish. Nice Brown IPA.

bottle- big time bitterness up front- an interesting aroma- near solvent like- fusels perhaps- with some hop contributed fruitiness. Taste is hop dominated- grapefruit, pine, balanced by a nice roasty flavor- good, but worth the praise/hype it’s gotten thus far? Not quite.
