A very punchy, grassy nose. The core taste profile includes rather dank, grassy hops, rye spiciness and some dark malt with some sweetness. I wasn’t expecting the grassiness but it creates a nice complexity.

Reddish brownish pour from beer table bottle. Rye, hops, and earth. Creamy malts as well. Pretty good.

Once again I’m drinking an Imperial IPA of indeterminate age, so I have no clue if the massive caramel malt front is by design or simply the product of an extended stay on the shelf. Hops are apparent, but they serve mostly as an accent piece, adding orange and berry notes around the periphery of the brown sugar and toast from the malt. Rye pops up with a earthy spiciness on the back end, while the fade grows piney and barleywine-ish. Tasty regardless. Pours a hazy dark brown-red with a beige head and healthy amounts of lace. Nose is caramel, rye, and pine. Not a trace of alcohol in the oily, spicy texture. Nice pint. I’d love to try it fresh.

Bottle from J’s. No date, but probably old judging on the most recent ratings on here. Pours a murky burgundy with a half finger of head that dissipates quickly. Tangerine and grapefruit aromas dominate the nose with a touch of peach and lemon. Full-bodied and chewy on the palate, syrupy, bready biscuity malts. Carbonation is muted at this point. More tangerine and honey marmalade. Finishes smooth with a lingering honey stickiness and peppery rye. Really held up pretty well for probably a year old.

Road Warrior Imperial Rye IPA 9%

Served in a snifter. It pours a deep red-purple like a beautiful hardwood with a light beige head.

The nose on this is quite good, a bit of peppery spice from the rye, an earthy pine & citrus fruit hop quality then a malt sweetness to balance it out.

The taste is bitter pine and earthy rye while you get a brief hit of sweetness in the aftertaste it is quickly dominated by bitterness. For hop heads looking for a slight twist on a Double IPA this will do the trick nicely
