22oz bottle into snifter.

Pours a medium amber with orange hues and an off white, bubbly head. The aroma is of resiny citric and floral hops upfront, followed by light oak notes mixed with sweet malts, and a touch of vanilla.
The flavor follows the nose fairly well, starting off again with more hop esters, backed by sweet malts,with light vanilla and oak notes as well.
The mouthfeel is fairly average, with a medium body and good carbonation. This is a nice change of pace from the average DIPA's offered. I really enjoyed the vanilla and oak notes, as they balanced out the hops quite well, while not distracting too much.

I was sure this was well past it's prime, as it had been pushed back into a corner, so I figured what the hell... However, once again I have proven to be very very wrong....

Poured from a 650 ml bottle into a footed tulip.

A: Dark amber hue. Pours a 1 finger, foamy, whitish head. Settles pretty slowly leaving some residue behind as it does. Tons o' cascading, dry, sticky lacing. Head renews fully with each pour.

S: Pine resin, honey, a little grapefruit, butterscotch, and orange citrus.

T: Full of pine resin, with a little raisin. Sweet dark chocolate and butterscotch. Soft, distinct wood character is very notable.

M: Thick, hearty, malty, and syrupy. Pungent aftertaste. A little dry in the finish. Woody, citrus notes hang on the palate. It is slightly harsh. High alcohol content is apparent.

D: Sip and enjoy.

Atmosphere is excellent. Great head, and some impressive lacing. Nose is full of character with prominent characteristic notes of resin, grapefruit, citrus, and sweet. Flavor is a very finely balanced combination of syrupy pine, bittersweet raisin, with candied chocolate and butterscotch, all with a pungent woody base. Thick, hearty, and malty. Overall, this is a great quaff.
