This is a classic West Coast-style imperial red ale brewed with medium crystal malts, centennial and cascade hops.

The color is a burnt amber with red highlights and the aroma has a spicy hop presence with moderate caramel malt accents.

The taste is a smooth, malty one with a balanced hoppy finish that includes hints of sweet caramel

Fra flaske på Cardinaltreff mai-11: Ole sin desiderte favoritt, og det er lett å skjønne. Karftige saker, intens smak og ettersmak. Kan gjentas når som helst, men det bør ikke komme andre øl etterpå - vanskelig å toppe denne intensiteten og kompleksiteten. Må prøve den frittstående en gang.

Bottled 3/6/2012, ~4 months old bottle. A reddish, dark brown beer with a medium and beige head. Aroma is strong and aromatic, caramelly malts, fruits, some tropical fruits, moist pine forest, hint of alcoholly strenght. Taste is strong and slightly fruitfull and toffee, lots of hops that balancing nicely caramelly malts, bitterness is piney and surprisingly, also slightly wooden. Long and slightly wooden aftertaste. Full bodied but not sticky and that fitts nicely for this strong beer. The strong and balanced beer, overally slightly wooden beer, enjoyable.

On tap @ Mikkeller bar. This is a really deep hazy amber blood orange colored one with a small sidesticking off-white head. Looks quite nice. Lovely fruity and hoppy aroma, wood and thick sticky caramel. Really thick and oily texture as well and it has a soft carbonation level. Hoppy and powerful flavors, lots of sweet malts, tons of red berries, finishes off light mouthdryinng, almost woody. A really tasty one indeed! 13.05.2012

22oz bomber poured into a snifter. Pours a dark plum color with minimal off-white head. Aroma of grassy and citrus hops with a good bit of caramel and dark fruits. Taste is medium bitter. Pine grass and caramel with a bit of dark fruits and a good dose of boozieness. Full bodied with a creamy and sticky texture. Lively carbonation and a long boozy finish. Overall, great. This one has been sitting on the shelf for about 4 years so I would love to try a fresh version to compare.

22 oz. bottle from Table and Vine. Nose and flavors are a mirror image. Sweet malts (bread and caramel) Citrus hops with some pine resin. Hop profile is nothing real special. Sweet caramel, toffee and dark fruit notes as well as some zesty, peppery spice. Some alcohol heat in the finish. This brew is nicely balanced and I really find nothing wrong with it but… nothing about it makes it noteworthy to me. To me it’s just another hoppy big beer. It gets lost in a sea of other big hoppy beers available.

A small glass, 9.2% abv., as Pizza Port, tap at Mikkeller bar. Dark brown body, dotted spots at the glassware. Smell of dark bitter fruity hops. Dried fruity flavour with semi-sweet notes of caramel malts, jam-like impression. Bittersweet ending. Full bodied. Tasty, indeed (Copenhagen, 13.05.2012).
