Growler shared by mike. Poured a clear gold with a white head that lasted throughout the beer. Aroma had a strong hop aroma that was dank, piney and a bit of wood as well. Flavor was hot with pine, woodsy and a dank sweet grain finish.

Bistro 13th IPA Fest notes. Good West Coast-style IPA. I can see why this beer won at last year’s festival, but it didn’t exactly blow me away. The taste has good bitterness and is relatively dry. Grapefruit and pine resin dominate the aroma. Bitter finish. Feel is a touch rough. This beer is well-made but sticks to very familiar territory.

Sampled from the cask at the 2010 GTMW. Poured dark brown with a brown head that dissipated slowly to the edges. Aroma had a nice chipotle note with underlying dark grains and bourbon. There was an odd underlying menthol note on the nose. That same menthol note was underlying as well on the tongue. The flavor was mainly a combination of dark grains and chipotle that grew towards the finish with a bit of bourbon.

Nitro sample at the brewpub, and a growler from the tower for home. The beer is a brownish-black color with a medium thick and foamy tan head that diminishes steadily. Rings of lacing on the glass. Roasted coffee and malt in the nose. Rich body with a strong coffee character along with flavors of dark chocolate and hops. The finish is moderately bitter roasted coffee that lingers awhile. The nitro version had a more muted coffee presence but both were good.
