Pretty interesting. Hoppy with nice head, carpet lacing. Orangish red. Smells hoppy at beginning, some barrel in aftertaste. A little bitter with some malt in finish as well. Average carbonation. On tap at brewery.

Has an okay amber body with no carbonation and a decent layer of head on top. Aroma is leaning towards malts with a balance of hops to give it some complexity. Flavour is a very hoppy affair with a dry finish and yet more hops. This stuff is simple but very, very refreshing.

Dark mahogany color; small sized creamy head. The aroma is mild (caramel, vegetables), the flavor is a bit stronger, but just with some dusty caramel; it has a decent bitterness level, but without any hop quality; the final is lightly ashy too. Messy. Disappointing.

Pours a deep dark red, with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out notes caramel malts, pronounced citrusy and resinous hops, and a hint dark fruit. Flavour is slightly more muted, with musty, earthy hops, dry caramel malt and toasted bread. A lot more aromatic than flavourful, though is certainly improved from the original recipe - perhaps it's gotten tweaked over the years. Solid imperial red.

Thanks to JoeMcPhee for sharing - pours a clear dark amber - smells like sticky sweet malts, boiled vegetables, and metal - the flavor is pretty much the same - starchy, vegetal, sweet - not much else happening here - wtf?

A nice reddish brown ale with a thick off white head. A wonderful aroma of sweet flowers, treacle, and floral C-hops. In mouth, a caramelly IPA with good roasted notes, and a good hopping. Bottle from Capflu. Shared Aug. 2008, with Capflu, GRM, et al., Brasseurs du temps gathering.
