Draft at Old Fashioned. Filtered orange-amber color. Thin, patchy head. Pleasant citrus grapefruit aroma..mayeb some Summit action as well. Bold and hoppy, the fruity citrus hop tones are quite nice. Clean body, not syrupy or sticky. All out hop barrage. Well done, certainly above par for a WI IIPA.

12 ounce bottle, 2011 vintage, courtesy of The Guy. Pours a dark reddish brown color with a thin fizzy brown head. Average head retention and lacing. Aroma of rich coffee, chocolate, vanilla, nutty notes and faint whisky. The taste is rich roasty coffee notes, bourbon, chocolate, vanilla, faint hops. Medium bodied. Tasty beer, and I have a feeling it might give me a buzz, which is exactly what I’m hoping for at the moment.

Bottle - thanks SpencerDB. Medium depth brown with a thin tan head. Smells like fresh coffee and just a slight hint of mocha. Taste is more fresh coffee, now the roastiness comes through. Just a little bit of chocolate malt, but the big player is the coffee. Strong and fresh, but not overwhelming. I like it.
