22oz bomber. Thick, just about opaque brown-orange color. The aroma is rather rugged, with some deep, piny, alcohol laced, hoppy, butterscotch which seems a bit off. Relatively mild carbonation for the style. Earthy toffee, and some thick malt make up the heart if this beer, and there is some thick, resiny hops to even it all out. Different in a lot of ways than your typical IIPA. Never comes off as an alcohol bomb, just full bodied and flavorful.

Bottle, 12oz. It pours a ruby, brownish body with a beige head. Roasted nose with a touch of chocolate and coffee. Some dried fruits in the background. The flavor is much the same, with malty flavors like chocolate and coffee doing most of the job, but there’s also some hoppy bitterness. Most of the bitterness is of the coffee like kind though. Medium body. Lasting coffee-bitter finish. It’s a quite decent beer, but it gets a bit boring. (090213)
