Bottle appreciatively received from ericandersnavy. Dark reddish copper color with a huge beige head. Aromas of roasted caramel and light floral hop. Medium body with prickly carbonation. Flavor is roasted malt, touch of chocolate, and hop bitter. Still seems floral. Solid drink. Lots of flavor.

Bottle from ericandersnavy. To whom I say thanks, cause I have no idea how I could have this otherwise!!! Very dark brown color with a decent tan head. Aroma of toasted dark malt. Medium plus body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is dark toasted malt. It’s not sweet, it’s not bitter, more or less. Balanced. Good as, or better than, anything the Deutschers brew. Nice dark flavors on through the finish.

2009 bottle. I am not sure who uploaded this, but I am not sure it deserves it’s own rating. Pours with a particle abundant yellow body with no head. Aroma of apples, German hops, and a noticeable, crisp element. Taste is a bit astringent with soggy and sour malts, a bit of German hops and associated bitterness. Tastes as though it has been lagered. No where near enough hoppiness for an IPA (I would be shocked if this was above 30IBU). Fizzy and dry mouthfeel.
Earlier Rating: 4/9/2008 Total Score: 2.6
Not an IPA in my opinion, just swill. Pours with a large, rocky, white head with a deep yellow body. Hay and maybe some spicey yeast in the aroma (lack of hops, especially for an IPA). Tastes like a watery pale lager with a dash of hop bitterness. Pretty crappy for an IPA. Fizzy mouthfeel.

On tap. Pours with a small, light brown head over a very dark brown body. Good lacing. Aroma of light peat and some dark fruits. Relatively weak. Taste is peet, maple, stone, with a decently strong alcohol presence, a bit of caramel in the finish. Syrupy mouthfeel, light bubbles.

Bottle shared with ilovedarkbeer. Pours with a small, off-white head that leaves good lacing and retention. Clear deep amber body. Aroma of dark fruits, light EKG hops, lots of bready malts and a couple of berries. Taste is malty bread and a bit husky at that with a light yeasty astringency. Lightly carbonated and a water like mouthfeel.

12 ounce bottle shared by cdumler. Pours a reddish brown with almost no head. Very much rotten aroma of caramel and garbage. Taste is caramel, nuts and vomit. Medium body. Something was very, very wrong with this one.
