Medium, dense yellow head over red, well-carbonated beer. Bit nutty, very aromatic hops, citrus and lots of exotic fruit, bit of resin. Resin, sweet exotic fruit, quite balanced tastewise. Touch vinous, bit of caramel, going towards toffee. Very thick, viscous beer; well-carbonated; long-lasting main flavour. Excellent! Superbly balanced, worthy of a top Barley wine, if sweeter.

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 suprchunk (1393) - Heinsberg, GERMANY - MAR 2, 2013
Reddish-brown color. Brilliantly clear. Slight carbonation releases bubbles throughout the drink. Big, creamy, off-white head. Plenty of lacing. Huge bready malt aroma. Fruity notes, some citrus. Big malt backbone. Sweet bread and biscuit. A slight bitterness and a nice lemony aftertaste. Sweet mouth with just a slight tannin presence. Very nice beer. Troubling as well, since it hides its ABV quite nicely.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 maneliquor (1553) - Perth, AUSTRALIA - FEB 23, 2013
Bottle from Mane Liquor. Not as impressed with this as their belgian double IPA. That was good shit. This one is much maltier with a lessened hop presence. Very toffee like and a load of piney hops but not so balanced. Fair bit booze too. Maybe I’m just pissed....probably
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 Shaney (1735) - Köln / Cologne, GERMANY - FEB 21, 2013
Braunes, trübes IPA mit orangenem Schimmer. Citrus-Hopfen im Aroma. Im Antrunk für einen trügerischen Moment malzig-süß nach Biscuit und Rosinen, wird dann getreidig-brotig bevor es massiv bitter wird. Der holzig bittere Abgang ist auch vom Alk. her leicht spritig. Insgesamt zu bitter und zu eindimensional, um wirklich gut zu sein. Durchschnitt.

4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 tderoeck (3000) - Gent, BELGIUM - FEB 6, 2013
UPDATED: FEB 18, 2013 1/II/13 - 1Pt. 6Fl. Oz. bottle @ home (2013-109) Thanks to Erwin for sharing the bottle!
Clear red brown beer, irregular yellowish head, unstable, little adhesive. Aroma: pretty fruity, sweet, caramel, strawberry jam. MF: good carbon, medium body. Taste: very fruity, jam, sugary, honey, pretty bitter, some citrus, sweet malts, hoppy bitterness. Aftertaste: caramel, sweet touch, fruity, sugary, nice bitter hops, jam. Very decent beer, however I would’ve classified it as a barley wine. (Did not know the style until I entered my rating.)
