On tap at Belmont Station. Pours dark brown, edges have a copper hue, medium tan head. Interesting mix, it all worked really well together, roasted chocolate character up front, big hopped up finish. Some beers of this type get to sharp of a bitterness, the big hops amplified by a dry sharp coffee bitterness. This beer managed to balance it well, actually leaving it even easier on the palate then normal homoerectus.

Aug 28, 2008 7/19/08 On draught at the Brewpub. Aroma is sweet floral PNW hops forward with good malt sweetness for balance. Appearance is nearly black brown with a well maintained cream color head. Flavor is earthy roast malt with some starchy bittering flavors. Mouthfeel is full bodied with a moderate carb texture. Overall, very cool, with much more roast than your average dark ipa.

Aug 17, 2008 Draught. Poured black with thin lasting head. Aroma of hops and flowers. Full hoppy flavours with notes of roast and more malt. Lingering full all over the tongue finish. Same high recommendation as the original Homo Erectus

Jul 8, 2008 Tap @ Belmont Station... Poured black with a big beige head. Aroma of floral, buttery malt. Flavors are chalky and sweet, maybe caramel. Some hops, but way in the background. Given the appearance of this beer, it’s actually very light on the palate and very refreshing,
