Dark amber color; creamy head. Solid aroma, malt and American hops. Medium malty body, too much dry, with a good amount of resiny hops. Unbalanced and rough.

Pour is a complete black with a small tan head. Aroma is great! Lots of chocolate and coffee. Flavor is also decent. Chocolate, coffee and caramel all make an appearence. Probaly not the most flavorful impy stout but still tasty and pleasing to all the sences.

Pours burgundy into a trappist glass. Medium-sized head with good retention and slight lacing as it recedes. Grass and citrus notes. Full bodied and well balanced with up-front caramel and a slight metallic long lasting grapefruit finish.

Dark brown rich appearnce below a short tan head. Roasted malts fill the nose conjuring up thoughts of cholocate and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of prune, chocolate and licorice. Below the malts, the hops are evident resulting in a bitterness in the finish. Creamy mouthfeel though the body is somewhat thinner than other imperials.

2012-12-21, draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver, 7-4-7-4-14=36
Hazy golden color with small creamy head. Nice aroma, with some fruity hops and some cheesy yeast. Smooth mouthfeel, malt flavor, light biscuity impression; it has a powerful hopping, providing extreme bitterness, resins and some fruitiness.
A solid IPA, but not very fresh character.

Hazy amber color; creamy head, nice lace. Nice fruity aroma (apricots). Malty taste, medium strength, with a good fruity aromatic hopping. One American IPA like many others, that is: I like it.

Pours black into a snifter. Slight medium sized head clings to the rim and in clumps. Roasted chocolate and grass aromas. Medium bodied, smooth with deep, dark chocolate and molasses flavors with a lasting bitter hop finish.

Beautiful copper-gold colour with a sparkling hue; good off-white, frothy head. Amazing, beau-ti-ful dry- C-hops nose, terribly enticing (grapefruit, light resiny, piney). More grapefruit in the taste, but extremely dry; thick wild grapes, tart. There is a certain unidimensionality, but for this type of beer, that’s perfectly OK. Another very drinkable beer. Certain oily slickness, overlying a rather easy drinking beer, medium bodied at best. A top-IPA, which is everything this type of beer ought to warrant. Hilde "Urthel", please retry this for another example...
