Don’t be afraid of things that go hop in the night! Rich roasted malt flavors haunt the shadows of our Imperial Red Ale’s bitter teeth.

Part of a sampler at Jet Rock at PHL terminal B. Clear amber with off white head. All malt. Malt, malt and more malt. Slight alcohol burn and slight cloying. Did not get the hops out of this, but not bad.

Old rating. Bottle from Old Town. Pours a deep brownish amber color with thin tan head. Boozy aroma with hints of raisin, prune, citrus, yeast and malts all on the nose. Starts out slightly sweet on the palate then the hop bitterness takes over throughout the finish. Nice pepper taste present as well as some spice.

This is a review from notes taken from my consumption last Autumn. I got this in a trade.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a nice semi-dark red to slightly hazy looking brown color with a decent half fingered white foamy head that died super quickly. There wasn’t much lacing.
The smell was super malty and yet somewhat roasty with some light nuttiness about it.
The taste was malty sweet and had some of that roasty nuttiness coming back in there. There was a quick roasty nutty aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium and showed a decent sessionable aspect about it. The carbonation seemed really subdued, but still okay to me as it wasn’t anything bad.
Overall, hey now, I’d say for the most part this was a decent American Strong Ale, though I think I was expecting more. No worries, I think I’d have it again, possibly not one to adamantly seek out, but still worthy.

Draft sampled at a tasting. From notes. Roasty nuts and resinous pine with a decently fruity citrus kick. Very good.
