Re- review, picked a super fresh bottle, this is much better than I first had, nice tropical and citrus notes with a balance of malts, not the best in the style as far as red IPA's but pretty close, this brewery is not consistence with their beers, it is really hit or miss in the style, so pick this one fresh, check the date, I have not found many of their beers as fresh as this, really makes a big difference — 9 years ago
2015 release, one I look forward to every year, excellent stout, great to cellar as well, big roasted malts, coffee, chocolate, big stout, but smooth easy drinking, do not miss this one, disappears very fast — 10 years ago
Still overpriced, but this scotch is still one of the richest sherry finished malts around that doesn't go overboard (as some might claim of the Aberlour Abunadh.) Thick and substantive in the mouth, it's giving with piney malt and rich red fruit from the sherry butts. Perfect neat - like all good whisky. — 10 years ago
What a brew! Creamy, intense espresso backed with milk and dark chocolate. Licorice, tar and malt to drive this one home. Holy shit 👌👌👌👌👌 — 10 years ago
Dankness, orange rind, pineapple, guava. Light malts, medium body. Velvety texture, fresh, little bitterness. Outstanding balance. One of the best IPA's available. — 10 years ago
Perfect example of a ESB, toasted caramel malts, off set by fruity earthly hops, Very good — 9 years ago
Creamy and hoppy with grapefruit like bitterness on the finish. Can't go wrong with Chouffe. — 9 years ago
Cocoa powder wafts from the bottle, fresh pumpkin, cinnamon and brown sugar, uncut apple and mocha coffee. Pumpkin at the fore on the palate. Cinnamon on toast, cappuccino into mocha, creme de cocoa, hazelnut, and the malts have integrated so well with the brewed pumpkin and the hops! There is light sweet tobacco, chicory, pecan pie, and clove. — 10 years ago
Lots of malts n shit for an ipa I guess — 10 years ago
Lots of malts. Enjoyable. Thanks to my former tenants for leaving this behind. — 10 years ago
Very good Amber Ale, big bold malts and bitter hops, seriously? Does Ballast Point ever make anything that not above average? Very rarely, Very good — 10 years ago
Auburn color. Rich aromas of honeycomb, dried cherries, menthol, figs, and sweet marmalade. Oily mouthfeel, ever so slightly hot on the tongue, dry tannins. Palate mimics the nose, with additional maraschino cherries, plum, malted barley, and freshly baked sponge cake. Heavy body, medium ++ finish. One of the nicest sherry finished single malts I've had! — 9 years ago
Outstanding Scotch Ale, big toasted and roasted malts, hints of chocolate, drinks like velvet, Fantastic!!!! — 10 years ago
One of the best malts! — 10 years ago
Americain IPA. Au nez, comme si on se mettait la tête dans un sac de houblon frais. Notes de fruits tropicaux et de pamplemousse. En bouche, une amertume bien balancée par un un sucre résiduel. Malt envahit par la puissante saveur du houblon, mais c'est loin d'être désagréable. Amertume importante mais sans être agressante. Très longue finale sur l'amertume du houblon et un côté malté. Une de mes IPA Américaine préférée. Un doux souvenir de la Headytopper de The Alchemist au Vermont. — 10 years ago
EDS likes for summer. — 10 years ago
Unbelievable. This is a reconstruction of a blend from 100 years ago. An unreal combination of a lowland, peaty malt with hints of sherry components you'd expect from Speyside or Highland malts. One of the most surprising scotches I've ever had. Awesome! — 10 years ago
