12 oz can from Total Wine, San Antonio, TX. Pours a clear light gold color with a white head and decent retention. Very little lacing. Bready malt aroma. Very bready taste to match the nose. Semi-crisp mouthfeel. Light body. Clean. Not bitter. Boring, but a good example of the style.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has dank and sweet citrus with a bit of flora and light fruits supporting. Flavor is much more grassy with a bit of citrus rind, some flora and a hint of sweet grain backing.

12 oz can from Total Wine, San Antonio, TX. Pours a mostly clear pale gold color with a large, creamy, ivory head and excellent retention. Great lacing too. Juicy hops aroma. The flavor is hoppy but very light, mellow grapefruit bitterness. Not much else going on. Medium body. Easy drinking pale ale.

12 oz can from Total Wine, San Antonio, TX. Pours a dark orange-amber color with a large khaki head and great retention. Decent lacing. Dark malt and molasses/brown sugar aroma. Dark, almost burned nuts flavor with a dark, dry, long finish. The 6.5% ABV and 33 IBU are more evident in the finish. Faint caramel flavor. Semi-crisp mouthfeel. Medium+ body. Good example of the style, but I'd like it a tad sweeter.

12 oz. can purchased in San Antonio, TX. Pours a clear amber color with a large, thick beige head and excellent retention. Good lacing. Hop forward aroma. The flavor is more bitter hops than caramel malt. This should be an APA, not an amber ale. Smooth and clean. Medium body.

Bottle from EricAndersNavy, thanks! Blonde, head disappears almost immediately. Vinous aroma with oak and traubenzucker. Soft tart flavor with citrus, oak. traubenzucker and melon. Thinnish, but very well balanced.

22 ounce bottle into snifter, bottled in 10/2011. Pours dense pitch black color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky tan head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, peat smoke, caramel, molasses, brown sugar, toffee, chili pepper, leather, tobacco, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and dark bread/crust; with lighter notes of licorice, vanilla, raisin, prune, cherry, fig, date, charcoal, wood, cinnamon, herbal, grass, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready/smoked malts, vanilla, chili, cinnamon, and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with big strength. Taste of huge dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, peat smoke, caramel, molasses, brown sugar, toffee, chili pepper, leather, tobacco, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and dark bread/crust; with lighter notes of licorice, vanilla, raisin, prune, cherry, fig, date, charcoal, wood, cinnamon, herbal, grass, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Mild herbal, grass, roast, charred bitterness; and pepper/cinnamon spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, peat smoke, caramel, molasses, brown sugar, toffee, chili pepper, leather, tobacco, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, dark bread/crust, licorice, vanilla, dark fruit, charcoal, wood, cinnamon, herbal, grass, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready/smoked malts, vanilla, chili, cinnamon, and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with a great roast/hop bitter/sweet and spiciness balance; with no cloying, acrid, astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering ho bitter/spiciness. Medium carbonation and fairly full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, and lightly slick/sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 10.2%, with zero lingering spice heat after the finish. Overall this is a fantastic spiced imperial stout. All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready/smoked malts, vanilla, chili, cinnamon, and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to sip on for the big ABV, with the mildly bitter/spicy/drying finish. Fantastic balance of super rich malts and spices; solid earthy hops, and restrained fruity yeast. Light residual sweetness with lingering bitter/spicy dryness. Not overly sweet/heavy for the ABV. A highly enjoyable offering, and amazing style example. Not overwhemong on any aspect. Aged amazingly for 7.5 years.
