Bottle shared thanks to Mrhangover. Pours clear amber brown with a medium tan head. Aroma of rich malt, grassy hops, caramel, grapefruit, raisins and ripe dark fruits. Flavor is moderate sweet and over moderate bitter. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Bottle courtesy of MrHangover. Poured a clear dark amber with a thin bubbly white head. The aroma is hoppy malt liqourice. The flavour is strong bitter with a smooth slightly watery big hop liqourice aniseed palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation and a long bitter finish.

22oz bottle pours with an amber to copper body that supports a light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up nice levels of pine hops along with some malts and roasted malts. Pretty nice. The taste is similar and delivers a rich smooth deep pine hoppiness mixed with thick malts and some roasted malts. It starts with the malt smoothness and pine hop flavor and grows into resiny pine hop bitterness and thin rings of roasted malts. Love it. Smooth rich integrated.

22 oz. bottle, pours a hazy amber with a medium beige / tan head. Extremely aromatic, with truckloads of resinous, citrusy hops, and a big fat caramel malt at least as prominent - there are some tropical fruit notes further back as well. Flavour is super pungent, with a big whopping caramel malt backing, supporting the truckload of resinous hops on top. Again, there's a hint of tropical fruit content, but not prominent. So insanely well-balanced, while still be extreme in its flavour profile. Finishes with a harsh but pleasant astringency. One of the best imperial reds I've had.

Tap at The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours very dark red with a cream off-white head that laced quite a bit. Aroma seems quite pine. Med + body. flavor is very pine over a fairly dark roast malt. Finishes malty, but more bitter and hoppy.

Bottle - thanks MikeB! Pours clear reddish amber with a large tan head that dissipates with nice lacing. Aroma is beautiful grapefruit, caramel, a bit of pine. Flavor is much the same, very nice, very balanced. Lightly sweet and medium bitter growing into the lightly warming finish.
