strong amber appearance with white head. flavor has a huge pale malt flavor which isn’t well balanced by the hops. the alcohol component is far too strong. too powerful and far too little hop appearance

Bottle. Dark amber with a small ring of off white head. Big resinous pine hop aroma, some caramel and a little alcohol. Similar taste, pine, caramel and alcohol. Oily with a long lingering bitterness and an alcohol warmth. Nice, not sure what separates this from a double ipa

Bottle from Alko. Red color, beige head. Intense hoppy taste with citrus, alcohol and some caramel. Very bitter finish. A bit too raw, but otherwise fine strong ale.

Dark amber fluffy cream head, Orange marmelade nose. Sticky Orange marmelade body, slight pithy bitterness. V drinkable for abv.

Tastes of bread, dried fruit, brown sugar, with pine hops. I like this beer a lot

Bottle sample at an Imperial Beer Tasting at the Norma Jean in Jaffa, hosted by beerandbeyond. Clear dark golden with off white foam. Sweet, honey aroma. Tastes rather bitter, slight skunkiness and some sweetness. Full body, soft carbonation, long bitter finish. Like it alot.

from notes: muted hop taste, balanced with a strong malt backbone. Long, bitter finish. Slight alcohol warming. Meh.

355 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 11.5%, 85 IBU. Amber colour, moderate off-white head. Strong sweetish aroma of orange marmalade, crystal malts, loads of American hops - and some alcohol. The flavour is sweet (orange marmalade again) and alcoholic, and very hoppy throughout, with a solid bitterness. Certainly not "easy drinking" - but when you finally admit that you have to drink this beer VERY slowly, it is not that bad. Just not Flying Dog’s best.

pours a nice red clear color. With a small foam collar. Has a very distinct IPA smell, very dry taste, kind of syrup/licorice like taste, very goey and has a bitter after taste. overal a nice beer! heavy alcoholic taste though.

Hazy orange/brown, thin head with a few big bubbles. Bittersweet aroma with a hint of orange and butterscotch. It is bitter to begin with but mellows out. Dry mouthfeel smooth taste but no hardcore.

Great double IPA. Pours an almost red with a fresh clean hoppy nose. The taste is grassy, citrus, and oh so wonderful hops. Didn’t linger too much but didn’t disappear. I fell in love with this and will always be close at hand for me.
