Bottle, thanks to Victor for the share. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Very hop dominated. Pine, gassy herbal and pine accents. Woody hop resinous with some tea like bitterness. Nice brew.

Jan 6, 2010 Had a sample in the bar and picked up a 6er for lack of a better choice. Im not a huge fan of this style. Id rather then just make a double ipa and make it well. This imperial red/ipa/american strong ale shit makes me gag. But I’ll probably finish the sixer anyway.

Jan 6, 2010 Pours a clear, translucent, dark mahogany. Aroma is spicy and hoppy and just a little malty. The richly hoppy flavor has a spicy undertone and an interesting metallic taste that complements the rest of the body rather than being unpleasant. The sharp, edgy texture has some tingle and a firm alcoholic bite.

Jan 6, 2010 Awesome, awesome beer. Bought a case. Powerfully hoppy, but balanced just enough to keep you drinking. Dark in color, just a great looking, great tasting, great drinking beer. A slightly hopped up Celebration.

Jan 5, 2010 bottled. Great looking dark brown ale. Intense hop nose. The taste is upfront maltyness w/ a wildly strong hop bite. Really out of balance to me, tasty but w/ a disappointing homebrew thing going on.

Jan 4, 2010 Big hop aroma before it is even poured, some citrus and wildflowers. Flavor is bitter, a hop-forward ale. Dark brown, but cherry when held up to the light. lacing head that never quite fades. Good hop flavor, medium palate with a little sweetness from the malt, with more flowers. Very light hop burn at the finish, and the flavor and aroma hide the surprisingly high abv dangerously well. Extremely drinkable.

Jan 4, 2010 Tap at Verdugo. I am not sure how fresh this was, not to indict Verdugo. Nose was really impressive and made me excited: thick hops, roast, almost a little chocolate/coffee. Flavor is that really typical "American Strong Ale" flavor, like Double Bastard or some backwater double Red Ale. So that was disheartening. But it’s big and made well enough - I just don’t need to have it again.

Jan 4, 2010 Tap at Flying Saucer.
Pours a decent mahogany with an aroma of new plastic and sweet raisin berry. Flavor is strawberry syrup with grapefruit and a touch of blueberry in the finish. Decent mouthfeel. Nice Winter offering.

Jan 4, 2010 Cask at Barcade. Really delicious. Dark and stouty on account of the multitude of roasted malts. Nice, off-setting hop bitterness. Great beer.
