picked up the mix four gift set with the glass in chicago the other day. enjoyed from the smokestack glass. bottle best before 5/19/2013

a - brew poured a deep brown with some reddish mahogany highlights. there was a full 3 fingers of massive frothy ipa head in the glass that dissolved leaving huge chunks of ipa head on the side of the glass.

s - smells like a pine cone with some good caramel maltiness equally as present. powerful smell but the hops are definitely in check with the malts.

t - really nice toasted nutty flavor with a good mix of hops and malts. not the hophead dream by any stretch of the imagination. nutmeg and caramel. really nice flavor despite not being a slap in the face of hoppy bitterness.

m - medium to full bodied, fairly chewy. nice carbonation as well.

o - overall, i dig it. not a hop head dream, but nice to have a solid iipa that is a bit more malt forward. really tasty and enjoyable...would definitely have again.
