12 oz. can. If only other beers could taste like this out of a can - I did not detect much of a "metallic" flavor to this one. Light aroma of malt with caramel. Flavor is slightly sweet, with a nice creamy, rich consistency.

Nice copper coloured body with a nice tan head that fades real quick. Aroma of citrus, pine and fresh hops. Light to Medium-bodied; Spicey hoppy flavour with a good malt backbone and some spices throughout the the taste. Aftertaste shows more hops and a pleasant sweetness. Overall, a pretty good IPA made even better by drinking it out of a can! I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Oliver’s Beverage in Albany, New York on 28-July-2007 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

(Can 35,5 cl) Courtesy of madsberg. Slightly hazy amber golden with an off-white head. Fresh, lightly citrusy aroma. Medium body, lightly sweet caramel and a somewhat unrefined and one-dimensional hopping. So the promises of the aroma aren’t really fullfilled. 270607

Nice aroma of nuts, hay, and dandelion. Dark amber color with a thick, creamy, tan head. Taste begins nutty, grapefruit at mid-palate, ending with a generic tinniness. Good complexity.

Strong hay aroma. Pour is golden with a thick white head. Tastes of honey and hops, more of the latter. Grass finish.

12 ounce bottle from Julios - Nice bottle and label, although that does make this beer fall a bit into gimmick territory (however, it did get me to dish out the seven bucks for it) - VERY thick black pour, with a small brown ring of lace - a little bit of light gets through, but not much - intense aroma of bitter coffee, black cherry, blueberry and roasted malts - oily mouthfeel, with soft carbonation - oatmeal stout creaminess, mingling with strong, espresso bitterness - anise, berries, black cherries, dried raisins, all mix with a medium sweetness that is tempered quite nicely with the roasted and bitter qualities of the beer - finishes with lingering sweetness and notes of tobacco and brown sugar - while intense and heavy, it never seems over the top - this is one of the best new imperial stouts I’ve had in quite some time - even at 7 bucks a bottle I’m sorry i didn’t buy more - for once, I’d say believe the hype.

Pours reddish amber into a shaker. Off-white medium head recedes at a medium pace leaving little tracing. Caramel aromas. Crisp yet smooth caramel with a lasting, sweet caramel finish. Quite malty, but very enjoyable.

She got cans, she knows how to use them. This hag never begs, she knows how to choose them. She pours dark reddish amber, pretty clear but dark enough to allow only medium clarity. So she shows you a lot but only in the right light. What a tease. At first this hag gives a big head but as usually after a little bit of time it just becomes a medium lacing with slight stickiness. Aroma is what seems to almost have become common place now with American IPAs. Hoppiness mixed with caramel maltiness. Hops are tropical fruit and caramel is pretty strong. Taste takes the idea but mixes the two elements very well. Medium bitterness throughout all the flavor. Light earthy roastiness at the end of the flavor. Aftertaste is sweet hops and bittered caramel. Man this hag likes to tease you with sweetness and bitterness. A perfectly medium body with light tickling on the roof of the mouth.
