COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Its like an imperial IPA with a big malt body. Dark red in color with lots of hop bitterness, flavor, and aroma, this ale is a malty, high gravity gem (7.5% ABV) crafted from two types of malt and four types of hops. Once called Loco-Motive Imperial Red Ale, we shortened... ’cause it was too long.

Draft pour at the brewpub. Pours a dark amber with a lighter malty aroma. Flavor is pretty boozy up front, but has some decent malty flavor and some bitter hop finish. Decent beer here, but expected a little more. Would drink again though for sure.

On tap at Jabus. Pretty tasty, if a tad one-note. Not much of an aroma. Malty sweet with a nice bitterness. I think I like it better than the Irish Death.

Beerona97 (2397) - Washington, USA - JUN 3, 2010
Pours opaque dark amber orange with a thick beige head with decent retention. Aroma of piney and floral hops with lots of earthy caramel malt. Taste has some grapefruit bitterness up front and mild pine on the finish, all the while it is balanced well by a hefty malt body. Pretty good but nothing extraordinary, some off flavors in the finish. Medium thick body, soft carbonation

Another beer sampled from IBrew2or3’s generous sampling bag. Pours caramel brown with a white head. Nose is caramel, pine, and floral hops with a malt presence. Flavor is similar with apricot flesh, grapefruit, and slight honey/ sugar. Finish lingers with citrus hops, fruit flesh, and some honey/ caramel. Nice Imp. Red.
