Growler - Fresh hops. Cloudy gold with a foamy white head. Grassy, resin and some white grape. Great well balanced citrus IPA. Screw Heady Topper, this is the shit.

Location: Growler at Paul's Blind Impy Stout Tasting, 1/5/13
Aroma: The nose has some roasted malts and a little smoke as well
Appearance: It pours a dark brown color with a light brown head
Flavor: The taste is fairly malty with a nice, lightish smokey presence to it
Palate: The body of this beer is medium, it has a fairly clean feel, and a soft carbonation
Overall Impression: Thanks blipp! I liked this one. It has a nice roasted malt presence and some smoke too. It drinks nicely. Good stuff overall. On a completely unrelated note, I can't believe the Falcons just blew a 20 point lead and then came back to win. Wow, what a game.
