Bottle. Dark, clear brown. Aroma of Jack Daniels, cocoa, dilute Starbucks. Taste is alcohol-soaked malted milk balls. Finally, an interesting barleywine!

Shaker pint pour at the brewpub. Pour is dark golden brown, nice off white head. Aroma of toasty slightly sweet, biscuit maltiness with decent hop bitter behind that. Taste is the nose, slight sweet, biscuit malt, hop bitterness. At the end, there is a nice burnt roasty element. Palate medium to thin, drinkable with a lot of character. Nice amber.

Shaker pint at the brewpub, on cask with a sparkler. Pour is copper orange, with a bit of brown. Tons of settling, nice white head. Heads falls with tons of sticky lace. Aroma of earthy pine and resin hoppiness. Good toasted malt backbone, which is earthy also. Taste is resin chewy hoppiness. Fresh and clean bitterness. Palate medium to thin, crisp and drinkable. Satisfying lingering hop resin bitterness.

East meets Wheat-Ginger Beer-on tap-pours a white head and color is clear gold. Very little aroma. I’m not picking up a taste, only decent carbonation , but Kathy says she’s picking up the ginger.

on tap-pours a tan head, color is brown. Aroma is grain & sweet. Taste is malty and then the hops come through boldly. This was their best beer of the batch I had, very nicely done.

on tap-pours a thin white head, color is a hazy light yellow. Aroma of banana. Taste is banana & clove with light carbonation. Good, but middle of the pack for this type.

Golden in colour with orange highlights. Light tan head from nitrogen, which lasted for at least one hour. Piney hops in the aroma with a bit of citrus. Pineapple and lemons show through in the scent as well. Piney hoppiness with a good showing of malt in the taste. Hop bitterness in the palate, and the beer finishes nice and crisp. Best of the beers at Phantom Canyon in my opinion...but also my favourite style. Overall, an above average IPA oddly enough poured from nitrogen!! I had this on tap at the brewpub in Colorado Springs, CO on 10-August-2003.
