2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20Maybe I have reached my limit with imperial IPA’s but this just tasted a muddle with no floral, citrus or woodsy hop flavors to be seen. Plenty of strong good malt taste but if I wanted a strong ale I would have ordered one.

Bottle from Hollingshead in Orange, CA. Pours a foggy, dark copper color with an amazing, thick, off-white head. Thick, hoppy aroma with some brown sugar, caramel, and a hint of grapefruit. Smooth and thick. Nice, deep hops in the flavor with some caramel in the background. Not too overpowering, and the alcohol is greatly masked. Easily, one of the BEST double IPA’s I have ever had. Simply. Amazing.

Dark orange murky pour. I’m not a fan of Brewdog’s Hardcore IPA, so expectations are pretty low here. Smells of concentrated human urine. Taste is like a rye IPA, but better. Floral, alcohol is quite prominent, some liquorice and caramel but the flavours are not in balance and so it’s hard to enjoy them. Quite a bitter finish.

Tap at The Mikkeller Bar Copenhagen. Poured a clear copper colour with a round white head. The aroma is rich and hoppy leading to a medium to strong hoppy bitter flavour with big liqourice on the palate. A great beer for any hopheads.

4.9 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20
reddish amber colour, minimal off-white head; aroma of fresh hops with intensive citrussy notes, mainly grapefruit; taste of paralysing bitterness which is very well ballanced by significant malty sweetness; in addition to the grapefruit taste caused by hops, dried fruits (raisin, mostly) can also be felt supporting the malt to control the intensive, long lasting bitterness; amazing IPA
