Bottle from Total wines, Bellevue, Seattle, WA, USA. A dark golden/amber coloured pour with a medium white head on top. A nice American hoppy, citrus aroma. Tastes hoppy, citrus, malty. A sound American IPA.

Nice deep copper coloured body with a light brown glow, some hints of deep amber and a tint of ruby, all with a perfect, three centimetre tall tan head - this one is very nice looking. Aroma of alcohol, oak, rye, tobacco, bright hops and plenty of sugars. Full-bodied; Deep, super pungent alcohol and rye flavours with a lot of caramel, banana, clove, yeast and pit fruit flavours - very cloying on the finish and almost a meal in itself. Aftertaste shows a nice hoppy flavour with a lot of rye, somehow even more alcohol and a deep, syrupy, resinous, oaky and very dry rye and vanilla finish. Overall, a very pungent and super strong beer with some nice complexities and a solid balance between sweet, malt, oak and alcohol. I wish this was just in a small format bottle - the density and gravity of this beer is just too much to handle in 65 cL! I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Belmont Station in Portland, Oregon on 12-April-2013 for US$12.47 sampled at home in Washington on 01-September-2013.

On Tap at the Boise BP Clear redish amber witha fine lasting off-white head. Faint woody malt aroma. Flavoris bitter but not in a hoppy way. Typical ESP bitterness, woody and astringent. Some hop bite at the end but pure IBU not much hop flavor. A "bitter" for sure

On Tap and the Boise BP Hazy medium...well..amber witha thin light tan head. Nice sweet light toast grain with some brown sugar. A soft malty flavor with a bit of that wet brown paper bag note these have sometimes. Finishes a little green tasting and fairly squeaky dry. Low on the IBUs and otherwise drinkable.
