Bottle sample at a tasting at kerenmk’s place. Thanks DSG. Pours orange with a small head, aroma of honey, toffee, caramel, marmalade, flavor is bitter with high sweetness, malt, grapefruit, a bit salty, medium to full bodied

Bottle @ WWT II. Clear dark amber, headless pour. Aroma is sweet caramel hops, almost a wine character. Flavour is perfect balance between the hops and the malt, carried by a light alcoholic character. Despite this being 13%, it drinks like 9%. This is sweet and incredible hoppy at the same time. Awesome brew!

Bottle @ WWT II thanks to Borresteijn. Clear red color, small off - white to beige head. Smell malts, lightly sweet, lots of hops, oh dear me. Taste lightly malts, lots of hops, some sweetness, good bitterness, lovely balance. Very good balance, full carbonation. Wow!

12oz bottle poured into a tulip glass. Clear deep mahogany with red hues and a small head. Sweet aroma of port wine, malt, date honey and brown sugar. Super sweet malty flavors, with juicy fruity hops, caramel, alcohol and medium bitterness. Heavy, cloying, not easy do drink and feels like a barley wine.

Arriva la bestia! L’unica cosa che non va è il colore, un miscuglio indescrivibile e torbido, l’aroma è drammaticamente luppolato e così il sapore, con in più l’equilibrio del malto.

Bel color arancio con soffice schiuma bianca non molto persistente. Aroma avvolgente, forti sentori di luppolo, toffee, quasi di formaggio; resinosa, pungente e dolciastra. Gusto inizialmente dolciastro, molto maltoso, tendente poi all’amaro pronunciato e generosamente luppolato con note agrumate e caramellate. Corpo massiccio, strutturata, sciropposa e liquorosa: una birra incredibilmente intensa, alcolica e forte, da cardiopalma!

Bottle sample at a tasting at our place. Thanks DSG. Clear amber-bronze, white ring. Sweet molasses and some malt in the nose, sweet, slightly alcoholic, and malty taste. Syrupy, full-bodied, sticky and smooth, long, sweet finish.

At a tasting, thanks DSG, ckear quite deep red colour, aroma of jam, lemon, biscuit, nuts and very ripe oranges, flavour of jam, butterscotch, lemon drops and flowers, bitter but overpowered by an extremely strong sweetness. Fair but unbalanced and quite hard to drink.

UPDATED: MAR 2, 2013 Bottle from Alex at home. Pours a clear cobber with a very small off-white head. Sweet and quite bitter. Sprucy aromas of hops. Also hints of resiny hops and tiny hints of licorice. Some alc warming. Full bodied and quite heavy with an oily texture. Very soft carbonation. Long very bitter finish. Thanks Alex!
