3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle that my dad brought along and shared with me, cheers dad. Consumed 26.08.10 Pours amber with a tiny bit of haze & busy carbonation, though it is bottle conditioned according to the label. The nose is a touch sweet, taste also but there is a good bitterness but describing it as an Imperial IPA is stretching things a bit far. Some fruitiness showing with citrus in particular.

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle conditioned. A Christmas present. Umm, lovely smell of grape juice and pineapple resin. Pale amber in colour, good conditioning with balding head. Nice mellow mouth feel, hints of liqueur and dark-rum. Finish has that heavy alpha acid bite of some of the stronger Imperial IPAs I’ve tried without going so far it’s a toilet cleaner. I quite like this.
