This was in a 750 mL flip-top bottle and was poured into a tulip.
First of all, this is not an Imperial Pale in anyway. Not in smell, appearance, or taste. Also, the label has it listed at 9% ABV (55 IBU).
Appearance- Be careful! This leaps out of the bottle with lots of light beige foam. The body is a dark amber/brown with hints of red. This leaves clumps of lacing.
Smell- Very odd and hard to pin down. Very musty with syrupy, sweet notes. If the flavor profile incorporated some of the nose, it would be a far more interesting beer. There is a sour metallic aspect to it as well.
Taste- Starts off sweet (cherries) and moves into brown sugar, caramel, biscuit with slightly bitter hops at the end. This would be better be described as an imperial amber ale.
Mouthfeel- Not too heavy, not too light. Some creaminess and does dry out the tongue as the other reviewer pointed out. The alcohol isn't noticeable at all except for the slight cottonmouth.
Overall- Fails mostly because it does not fit its designated style. If it had been labeled as an imperial amber, I would not have bought it. It would, however, receive a higher score.

Grabbed a flip-top dollar deposit bottle to try....
- Off white finger of head from a heavy pour... quickly down to a bubbly ring and some thing sheets floating on top. Dark slightly cloudy caramel color... looks like an amber or red ale...
- Sweet brown sugars, malts, caramel malts... biscuity, bready... light bitter grassy and earthy hopping... some pine maybe.. but mostly what smells like brown sugar, and English malts....
- Nice creamy smooth and balanced brew. Very balanced. Not super over hopped, but bittered and hopped enough to balance out the creamy caramel malts, and sweet brown sugar flavors. This is more like a good ESB or Amber style to me.
- Medium bodied, slightly creamy... a touch drying, but now overly... and maybe only a tiny bit sticky and sweet. Lightly carbonated, but certainly great carbonation.
- A great brew... though I don't know if the style, or stated style and name really fits. But it's smooth, and very well balanced... and I bet is especially good on tap.
