A hazy dark amber ale with a thick creamy off white head. Aroma is rather doughy, caramel and light hopping. In mouth, a very herbaceous rendition of the IPA, grassy, none of the floral hops expected, the bitterness tending to be very dry and citrusy. Alcohol warmth in finale pleases the mouth. An IPA veering on a Belgian Dubbel. Gift from Pintbypint, late January 2007.

Bottle courtesy of CBA: Poured a deep cloudy amber color ale with a ice big foamy head with better then average retention. Aroma of medium piney and citrusy hops is dominating. Taste is a mix between some C-type hops and a big malty body with a mix between some caramel malt and some rye. Body is quite full with some limited filtration and no alcohol was discernable even though it is quite high for the style. Overall, this is a nice take on the style but would have love a bit more hops in the mix.

Deep amber color, thick off white head. Caramel, piney nose that is somewhat subdued. Full bodied, chewy malty piney, citrusy hops are again subdued. Rye grain, moderately dry bitter finish. If you like malty IIPAs, than maybe for you.
