So, I rated this beer in 2022, then March of 2023, and still nobody else is giving it a rating. Okay, I'm going to do it again. This beer has a head that actually lasts. Only a tiny amount of light shines through this murky reddish brown liquid. Inviting aroma of dark malt and figs. Powerful flavor, it starts with an immediate bitterness, crisp texture, and a citrus malt while still very roasted. Seems like a mild Black IPA. The first sip always sends the mouth into a shocking bitter IPA when the eyes tell you that it's a brown ale but you quickly overcome it, acclimating your palate so that it becomes very inviting. Citrusy, malty, bitter, deep Amber, roasted. Don't know how they put this together and still made it balanced and delicious. It's a mystery.

Beer number 10 in my Duo beers I sent a Texas. A Huntsville Alabama Imperial Amber. I had this beer less than a year ago after having enjoyed a couple of IPAs. I believe it skewed my review somewhat. Although I still get the strong toasted Amber notes with alcohol, I now also have experienced the grapefruit citrus bitterness in the finish. It's very pronounced, especially at first. As you become accustomed to it, it recedes in intensity. This unique combination of Imperial Amber and the citrus flavors of an IPA deserves a better rating than before.

Sitting on my son's back porch with a close football game and an Alabama Imperial Amber ale. Something relaxing about sitting on a porch while it's raining. Moderate head, tan in color. Almost clear, red with some brown hues. Very light Amber aroma, less than I would expect from an imperial. Alcohol is immediately apparent. Still has the Amber quality but with a lot of flavor that is deeply roasted almost to the point of burnt. Finish has a quickly receding alcohol quality while the roasted Amber continues. The finish is actually the best part of the beer because the alcohol was a little overpowering for an amber.
