Nov 25, 2009 Well I hope I’m reviewing in the right place because mine is a Yo-Ho/nogne o collaboration but mine is 8.0% not 8.5... Dude this is strange brew right here. Very very dark color and thick brew for an IPA. Flavor is bizarre, hoppy like an IIPA, but with a subtle smoky character almost like an imperial stout. Nogne O as a brewery blows my mind; not all the brews of theirs I’ve had are fantastic, but they are very ambitious and creative across the board. Good effort dudes, this is not exactly what I hoped for (and far from what I expected) but it’s definitely solid.

Nov 21, 2009 Bottle -- Muddy, rusty-orange, with a nice poofy head. The solid, woodsy pine aroma wafts nearly across the room. Drinks with a stark oiliness, rich with sappy hops, pine, and a citric bite. Nice solid beer, and dangerously drinkable for 8.5%. (#3747, 11/21/2009)

Nov 21, 2009 Bottle. Pours dark amber brown with large dense off white head. Wonderful aromas of resiny hop aromas balanced by caramel, totasted malt and some dark fruit. Amazing stuff. Flavours keep the aromas going. Heaps of resiny hop bitterness and flavours with caramel, toffee and dark fruit. A little spiciness to complete the package. Whilst the balance is definately at the hoppy end the addition flavours make for a wonderfully complex beer. Great stuff.

Nov 17, 2009 Hazy honey pour with a off white head that lingers. Mild hop aromas with faint bitterness in the nose. Hoppy flavor that is well rounded and full bodied. Kind of weak on the hop bitterness. Still a nice iipa

Nov 17, 2009 Bottle split with Dallas. Pours a deep amber brown body with a nice creamy off white head. The aroma is fresh hop. The flavor is agressive hop flavor, nice floral, grass, and citrus hop present.

Nov 13, 2009 Tasted 10/29/09. 500ml bottle. Hazy with a brown hue with golden highlights. Brainy, taupe head. Aromas of caramel and a mild smoke note. Faint alcohol and mildly estery. Full bodied with a big dose of bitterness. Tart and fruity acidity with a tangy palate. Hits the middle of the tongue. Big fruity notes with a focus on orange citrus and grapefruit. Good, not great.

Nov 3, 2009 Similar in style to Hair of the Dog. Complex flavors. Citrus and pine hops swirl around. Not a west coast IPA by any means. More a cross of a pale and a barleywine.
