look: 4.5 | smell: 4.75 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.75 | overall: 4.5

12 ounce bottle poured into a snifter.

A: Pours a hazy copper color with a half finger head and some lacing.

S: Citrus hops along with some sweet bready malts to balance it out. A hint of alcohol.

T: Very much like the nose with some caramel flavors as well. Hides the alcohol well.

M: Medium to heavy bodied with good carbonation. Smooth!

O: I enjoyed this beer quite a bit. It's my first Evil Twin brew, and I'm definitely satisfied. It almost tastes like an Oak Aged Double IPA. Nice balance and flavor.

look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25

8 oz pour from a bottle into a snifter
Bottled on: 3/13/13

A: Pours a dark caramel color with reddish hues. 1/2 a fingers width of tan head builds then quickly fades. Leaves only the faintest hints of lacing.

S: Dank resinous hops, sappy pine, citrus rind. Malt sweetness to balance it out, and some booze to add to the complexity. I'm surprised by how great this smells. Love the aroma.

T: Malty, boozy. Hops take a back seat, which was not the case in the aroma (but may be partially due to the age, although at 2 months its not that old). I also get burnt sugar, piney hop bitterness, and citrus rind. This is really booze, although being a fan of boozy beers I actually like it. More of an American Barley than DIPA in my opinion, or reminiscent of a not as good version of DFH 120. That being said I actually really dig it.

M/D: Full bodied, not necessarily thick, and def not syrupy. Carbonation on the higher end. ABV is certainly noticeable but I think it adds nicely to the beers complexity. Drinkability is good.

O: Overall, Im a big fan of this one. Its not the typical DIPA, but if you like big, bold, boozy beers you will be a fan of this one. Now that its available in 4 packs (at less than half the price of the old singles!) I will def look to purchase this one again.

3.78/5  rDev -1%
look: 3.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75

Bottled 2/14/13.

Pours a hazy honey orange with a foamy khaki head that settles to a partial film on top of the beer. Small streaks of lace slowly drip into the remaining beer on the drink down. Smell is of malt, citrus zest, grapefruit juice, and alcohol. Taste is much the same with caramel and citrus zest flavors on the finish. There is a high amount of hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp and medium bodied mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good that is tasty but strong and very bitter.
