Mar 29, 2009 Pours darker than I thought it would. For a brew they claim is an IIPA, this is really dark. Thick, pillowy head that lasts a while. Nose is certainly like a barley wine - slightly boozy malts with a strong hop backbone. Nice aroma. The malts almost bring out a banana note, adding to the darker fruits, raisins and citrus hops. Flavor is great - this is super-smooth, and has a great balance, right on the aroma. Very, very good! (And no way this is a IIPA.)

Mar 29, 2009 bottle. pours a dark brown with reddish tint and a big bubbly light tan head. almost no lacing. sweet aroma of dark fruits and citrus hops. flavors of caramel, raisin and yeast are quickly taken over by a resiny hop and smokey vibe. some of the alcohol comes through in the end also. the medium palate is a strange combination of slick and tingly - in a good way. doesn’t look or taste like any DIPA I’ve ever had. the hop bitterness seems to overwhelm the malt character - but overall there is a lot to like here.

Mar 23, 2009 Poured a light brown/orange color with okay head which left a thin covering through out the beer. Aroma was of pine hops caramel malts some light citrus. Flavor was much the same HUGE hops for sure, but there was more malts in there then I expected Very good beer.

Mar 16, 2009 50 cl bottle, batch 348. Dark amber color with a gigantic creamy light brown head.
Aroma is very hoppy with notes of chocolate, roasted malt and sigar. Flavor is sweet and hoppy with a long bitter end. Very complex beer that is very drinkable due to vell hidden alcohol (10% abv)

Mar 10, 2009 Pour from a 25oz is beautiful mahogany reddish brown; dark rich and inviting. Head is dense and creamy leaving prodigious lacing as it settles. Nose has coffee and sour overtones overall the impression is lightly fruity with roasted malt. Surprisingly light felling. Smooth on the tongue, goes down well. Taste is rich, sweet smoked toffee and pine. Delightful!

Mar 3, 2009 Very dark amber with tan fluffy head that lingers. Vanilla, roasted banana, some cognac. High impaact on the first sip that settles somewhat. Huge bitter - definately a Double IPA a la DFH 90Minute. The hige hop bitter covers some rather interesting vanilla citrus. Malty lingering finish. All satisfying.
