poured from a bomber into an indian wells pint glass, dark red and caramel brown combine to form the body which is topped by a dark yellow mocha colored head which dissipates very quickly.
The scent has distinctly separated the hops, a floral spicy type, and the malt which is a maple brown sugar presence weighing it down a bit.
The flavor profile is great, initially I get a hoppiness which is refreshing to the palate. This is quickly cut down to size by a full bodied malty impartation which adds a sweet brown sugar and maple syrup to it. I get tons of holiday spices in there as well, the cinnamon and nutmeg type flavors. It's a very hoppy beer but the malt disguises the bitterness 100% and turns this into a sweet flavorful brew, I am impressed.
The mouthfeel is solid, it starts out as a refreshing lighter carbonated brew and changes to the solid malty feel I expect out of a porter or stout.
Overall I was quite impressed with this beer, I am a fan of the imperial reds, I think they have a ton of different flavors mingling and combining together which always makes for a great beer.

Appearance: Red to brown in the glass with burnt orange head.
Smell: Nutty, chocolate, toffee, earth
Taste: Same as aroma. This beer could be paired comfortably with nutty hard cheeses and gamy meats (lamb etc).
Mouthfeel: Full body with a creamy and long finish which is my own favorite part of the beer.
Overall a good beer that would work well with food or can be enjoyed alone. The cream mouthfeel leads me to believe it would work well paired with nutty deserts like pecan or apple pie the sweetness of the pie would complement the earth of the beer very well.

On tap for the 4th Annual LA Beer Week Beer Festival at Union Station in Los Angeles, CA.
Pours a clear dark reddish-brown with a foamy orange-tan head that settles to a small cap on top of the beer. Small streaks of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, citrus fruit, and herbal hop aromas. Taste is much the same with a slight caramel flavor on the finish. There is a medium hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a good beer but it tastes better than it smells in my opinion.

A 220z bomber picked up at Green's in downtown Columbia, SC. Another brew I can't get back home in Atl, GA
A - a dark cloudy amber red. Tons of sediment in this unfiltered beer. 2 fingers of head and sticky lace all over the glass. It doesn't get any better looking than this one
S - Huge caramel malts with some piney hops at the end. Delicous
T - Wow, as good as it looked and smelled, the taste did not dissapoint. Carmel, toffee up front, nice hop kick in the rear at the end. Red style is prevalent.
M - Full bodied, high in carbonation. Very smooth and well balanced
O - If you like imperial red's, this beer is for you

Pours a murky copper brown gold in the light. A huge light mocha froth forms and coats almost the whole glass. There is some thick ugly sediment the flops out of the glass, telling me my beer isn't perfect.
Smell is roasted warm malt, and a hint of pine.
Tasted of plenty of toasted malt, sweet caramel and chocolate in the middle and a citrus pine finish.
Feels a tad abrasive on the front of the tongue, but not horribly so. Medium bodied and and filling.
I liked the beer, plenty of flavor, a bit discouraged by the sediment, but otherwise, nice.
DOA
