(Bottle at Pikkulintu, Helsinki, on 2009-01-22) Deep amber. Clear. Dense white head that disappeared quite quickly. Hops, toffee and malts in aroma. Full bodied and little bit sticky palate with medium carbonation. Malts, hops. toffee, hint of boiled vegetables and some grassiness in flavour. Hoppy and bitter aftertaste.

Bottle. Ruby beer with an off-white head. Toasty, malty aroma. Malty, toasty, caramel flavor with grapefruit/pine hops. Medium-plus bodied. Malt lingers with grapefruit/pine and light spiciness. Nice balance.

22 oz bottle. Pours a redish orange color with a long lasting small white head. Aroma is a touch of hops, toasted malts. Flavor is a touch of malts, with hops. Creamy, with a fantastic finish.

22 oz bottle shared with natedoggkc at Waldo Pizza in Kansas City, MO. Pour is orange red, slightly hazy. Not much head to speak of, only a small wisp of white. Aroma is nice rye graininess and citrus hops. The taste has the same elements as the nose, with the graininess balanced with the floral citrusy hops. The finish is a bit hot, with some harsh medicinal notes present. Palate was on the thin side.

Bottle from Greenwood Gourmet Grocery in Greenwood, VA. Brownish red color with moderate head and good lacing. Big hoppy aroma with pine and nuts. Big hop taste that is vegetal with earthy, floral and piny notes. Some sweetness.

22oz bomber. Orange-brown color, filtered from the looks of it. Fresh amber malt aroma. This is an awesome Imperial Amber beer. Smooth and creamy with a solid Hallertau backbone. The warming of the alcohol and the creamy richness of the amber malt go together quite well. Really an exceptional beer by any standard. Pleasant lingering aftertaste of hops.

Bouteille 650ml, courtoisie de Hogtownharry. De couleur ambrée orange et très légèrement voilée. Nez de houblon citrique (pamplemousse), résineux, légèrement floral et aux notes terreuses, malté de caramel sucré et de biscuits, moyennement fruité (agrumes, notes d’abricots), léger d’épices (poivre) avec des notes d’alcool et des traces de chocolat noir. Moyenne-ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture moyennement crémeuse et aux notes résineuses. Goût amer de houblon résineux, floral et moyennement citrique (pamplemousse, qui dure toute la gorgée) avec un goût fruité (agrumes et zest, léger d’abricots) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté de caramel toffee sucré (notes rôties et traces de chocolat noir) et accompagné d’un léger goût de biscuits au miel, parallèlement à un léger goût d’alcool doux puis en finale l’on retrouve un regain d’amertume de houblon plus asséchant, plus citrique et légèrement terreux ainsi qu’un léger goût épicé (poivre) et de seigle asséchant. Post-goût long et sec, amer de houblon résineux, citrique, légèrement floral et terreux, fruité (zest d’agrumes) et avec un léger goût d’alcool et des notes de chocolat noir.

Bottled. A dark amber beer with a thin fast disappearing tan head. The aroma is sweet malty with a sharp hoppy note - especially with notes of grapefruit, combined with a malty note of caramel. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel combined with a lighter note of hops - giving it notes of grapefruit, leading to a dry finish - somewhat like eating a grapefruit.

Bright orangey-red colour. Loose head. Gorgeous. Aroma is accented towards chocolate and wood. Big and full body, with a thick caramel overtone and pleasantly spicy hops. Very big, very red...I’ve had better examples over the concept but this is a nice brew.

Bottle pours a redish amber with a tal light tan head and thick heavy lacing. Sweet woody malt aroma with some notes of brown sugar and citrus zest. Flavor was a rich caramely swetness and barely enough IBUs to compete for the bill. Decent all around and a hefty ABV. Thanks Jake65
