Location: Draft rating from Capitol Ale House - Innsbrook, I don't seem to have a date, but this rating is probably at least a year old.
Overall Impression: Assuming this is the same beer I had on draft at the Capitol Ale House in Glen Allen, VA (they called it the HeBrew Lenny Bruce RIPA) it was and excellent beer with a nice combination of flavors.

Bottle. Very surprised that I haven;t had this one before. Pours a hazy auburn with a fluffy, tan head. Good retention and lace. Aroma of hops (indistinguishable), rye, rye bread, caramel, very faint dark fruits and mild brandy type thing going on. Taste is malty and caramely, with dark fruits and rye spiciness. Hops are not very up front, but there is some lingering bitterness. I don’t think this is a super fresh bottle. Viscous/syrupy mouthfeel, light bubbles. A bit sticky. Seems closer to a hoppy barley wine than a IIPA

bottle - Pours black with a very thin tan head. The aroma is of dark fruit including grapes and cherries. The flavor is extremely sweet malt. The 12% abv is buried under syrupy sweetness. It’s full bodied and the hops is definitely in there, but any bitterness is overwhelmed by the dominate malt. While good, I’d have liked to see the latter toned back a bit.

Pours light mahogany into a trappist glass. Head quickly recedes to hug rim. Sweet pit fruit aromas. Thick and creamy - interesting mix of doppelbock and dubbel. Sweet dark dates, pit fruits and caramels. A little hot in the yeasty finish.

From tap at Jupiter. Pours clear and deep amber to brown, golden, with a small tan head. Roasted malt and classic complex Belgian yeast aroma. Fruity yeasty and roasted malt, smooth and yet very complex on the fruity yeasty notes. Ends dry and slight phenolic yeasty.

On tap at the Oldsmar Tap House. Pours clear deep amber with tan head. The aroma is sweet and sugary with a boat load of dates smashed up with date skin baking in the sun. The taste is full and bold with thick crusty earthiness and huge date sweetness pushing me right out of my chair. It ends very sweet and date-ee with mild roasted malts swimming around deep in the background.
