3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
WOW most extreme beer i have ever encountered. Thanx Sammy for bringing this one in. Amberish almost rose color. nose is resinous, alcoholic hops, hops of every variety . Flavor is booozzzyyy, and tons more hops. I thought the Dogfish 120 was crazy this one takes the cake, drinks like a sherry/hoppy scotch
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Bottle from the brewer, wrapped in a paper bag with a 41%! warning on it, and a bottle stopper should you choose self-control and drink some many hours later. Grapefruit colour with amber highlights, and lacey. The aroma of many hops is a side-show. The taste, and its a sipper and full mouthfeel, is a bitter hops in high alcohol, and a little sherryish. Undertstated carbonation.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Sample from fløska, huge thanks to yespr for this! Clear deep golden amber colour. No head at all. Very sweet toasty caramel alcoholic hoppy strong aroma. Quite oily well filling mouthfeel. Quite sweet bombastic hoppy alcoholic caramel flavour, woooooo! The alcohol is indeed noticeable but not near the 41%.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle at Dutch RB meeting, thanks for sharing NoiZe! Pours a hazy orange without any head. The aroma is like a hop bomb with loads and loads of fresh hops overpowering the intense alcohol background. Very grassy, floral and remarkably fresh hops. The flavor is insanely bitter hoppy which somehow seems to mask the alcohol pretty well. Only a definite lingering alcoholic warmth in the finish. The extreme alcoholic hoppyness is quite enjoyable yet an attack to my stomach.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
(A small sample from bottle) Poured amber coloured and clear. No head. Aroma contained solvent, malts and mildly honey. Palate was full bodied and very warming. Flavours were booze, hops, fruitiness, malts and mildly bitterness. Aftertaste was boozy and malty.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottled. Many thanks to Bullit. had it in the morning just a few hours before checkin in on the airport and a few hours after a night of hard work, i.e. drinkin bitters, golden ales, ciders and the usual british pubstuff. It is fluorescent hop juice with a lot of alcohol. Thats all there is actually. Funny experiment, nice marketing, good practical joke, quality hops there, but overall not really drinkable.

strong malty and hoppy aroma. You would not be able to guess the ABV from aroma, but You would probably guesstimate it in the teens.

Bottle generously shared by yespr at Ølbutikken, Very appreciated.
Pours an amber colour with no head.
A strong alcoholic aroma with a lot of fruity sweetness and a hoppy kick hits the nose.
Flavour is dominated by alcohol, with notes of hops and a hint of caramel and toffee. Very intense and with a long lasting after taste and throat burn.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Tasting at Ølbutikken - THX Jesper! Pours a clear light orange with no head. Smells of alcohol and some hops. First is a fiery alco burn, then you discover piny hopsaromas and some residual sugars. Dry finish with more alcoburn and hints of caramel. Interesting.
