Mar 28, 2008 Hazy orange with a fine head. Hops and alcohol governs the aroma, while the flavours are sweet like candy sugar and alcohol going into an aggressive salty bitterness toward the end.

Mar 23, 2008 Bottle, thanks to akevitt for sharing. Pours a dark brown body and light brown head that leaves a small amount of lacing. Aroma of fresh, floral hops and malts. Interesting beer - starts like an IIPA, but ends with the complexity of a barley wine. Flavor is all hops at the beginning, but then turns to more malty flavors with hints of burnt toast and citrus. Milk chocolate finish with a coffee aftertaste.

Mar 23, 2008 Updated: Dec 29, 2008<i>50 cl bottle @ Bishops Arms, Karlstad, shared with Bananamaniac.</i>
Aroma: Amazing, powerful, with plenty of hops in there. Sweet chocolatelike smell too... a bit nutty.
Flavour: Very complex with typical american hops, citrus, grapefruit. Extremely bitter, but in a well-balanced way... plenty of sweetness, roasted malt, nuts and chocolate.
Palate: Absolutely wonderful... smooth, though the bitterness, and very mellow.
<i>Second tasting. 50 cl bottle @ Bishops Arms, Karlstad, shared with Bananamaniac.</i> Pours a deep brown color with a nice white/beige foam. Quite a lot of yeast particles A wonderful aroma of citrus fruits, hops, notes of roasted malt and chocolate. Flavour is of aromatic citrus hops, grapefruit and elderflowers... some malty chocolate like taste shines through, and it’s very pleasant. Ends bitter, but not extremely bitter (maybe because it wasn’t that fresh this time). One of my favourite beers from Nögne Ö.

Mar 22, 2008 carmelly with some toasted nuts, chocolate, pine cones, grapefruit and blood orange, and some interesting yeasty flavor. gives it a fresh wet flavor. very tastey. i definitely have "more like a IIPA than a BW" written in my notes, but then I read the disclaimer on the commercial description and now it makes sense.

Mar 22, 2008 Bottle. Dark brown pour with some tan head. Aroma is citrus hops, caramel malt, lightly roasted chocolate, pine, and alcohol. Slightly soft palate. The flavor is a mixture of sweet and lightly roasted malt up front, with citrusy hops, and a resiny finish. Solid IIPA with good hopping and bitterness.
