Notes from 2016. Described as an Imperial Red. Warming malt & alcohol as expected. A thin scrum of foam. The beer looks cloudy, like it’s fresh out of the tank with no time to settle out. Taste offers stone fruit; a bit of plum amidst the malts, floating in warm alcohol. Some yeast bite to it. Hop bitters stick to my teeth. This is something I would just to swig right down, but you need the discipline to savor this.

Location: Draft at Monk's Pub, 7/8/14
Aroma: The nose is caramel and grainy malts, some decent hop notes
Appearance: Pours a dark reddish color with a beige head and some decent lace
Flavor: The flavor is solid and balanced, good malt presence, solid hop bitterness as well
Palate: The body is medium, a bit sticky, with a decent, but not amazing mouthfeel
Overall Impression: I thought this was a solid one, but it didn't stand out for me. It's a tough style to crack into. Needs a better effort than this to get a high score.

Elongated goblet draft (14oz) at Small Bar Logan Square ($5). Dark red color, cannot see through it but glows against the candle light. I should say that Imperial Reds are usually not my thang. I dislike caramel and assertive bitterness/resin. This beer was not that. Aroma is moderate hop bitterness slightly overtaking a great Juicy Fruit hoppiness. The hops are sweet, back by some residual sugars, and some tropical fruit to make what basically tastes like Juicy Fruit gum. Flavor is even better with nothing but that Juicy Fruit, which makes me so happy. Bitterness is actually lower in the flavor and just a bit of caramel maltiness at the end of the flavor. A moderate bitterness in the aftertaste.
