<b>App.</b>: Very deep copper/brown with a smallish tan head. <b>Aroma</b>: Lots of ginger and spices (what???), some pine, some alcohol, wood and nuttiness, some dark molasses, caramel and toffee, bitter orange, alcohol, light chocolate. <b>Palate</b>: Medium body and moderate to soft carbonation. <b>Flav.</b>: Still tons of spices, lead be ginger, then allspice and cinnamon, maybe cardamom(?), light chocolate and some other malts; somewhat sweet and quite bitter.

I very strongly suspect that this is Underlig Jul, NOT 100. This is so wrong for an IIPA that I would even put money on it...how curious.

Crushed with CaryTheDude and some other guy watched. Very dark brown pour with a creamy off white head. Woah. Big, hoppy, fruity aroma. A bit of cheese there too. Lots of sweetness. Flavor is hoppy, chocolatey, some tobacco. Really incredible brew, glad I got to share it with theDude.

a lot of nice and sweet liquorice. just slightly too bitter. lovely, brings water to mouth

500 ml bottle courtesy of sprinkle. Pours a dark brown color with a large beige head. The aroma is a little on the light side, but includes dark malts, moderate sweetness, and a hint of the hops. The flavor is very much like a barleywine, or at least an aged DIPA. It opens with a hefty dose of caramel malt goodness, followed by some hoppy bitterness and a little roast. The alcohol comes through a bit as it warms. This is another solid offering from Nogne O.

Purchase at the New Beer Distributors in NYC. Dark red in color with a three finger head that descents at a very slow pace. The aroma is very interesting and nice with hints of citrus. Taste of hops, but well balanced and hides the alcohol fairly well.

Crushed with Jakebra and hopefully with Honkeybra. Very confused after reading the description. Dont care what they say, it smells and looks like a barley wine. Flavor is ipa. Nice, could be the greatest combination ever. Pours black, nose of big hops and definitely dark fruits. Mostly hops in the flavor, which I guess makes it a ipa. Wicked bizzah and awesome. Awesome no matter what it happens to be. Honkeybra, gimme more.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber body with an off white head. Lots of malty caramel up front with a grapefruit body and a strong alcohol warming. Chewy citrus hoppiness to finish. Good beer.
