Sep 23, 2008 Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival 2008. A red-amber beer with a huge orangey head. The aroma is sweet maty with primary notes of caramel, but also light notes of hops. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of hops lending it a strong bittereness, but also medium notes of fruti, leading to a dry bitter finish.

Sep 21, 2008 Tap at Ginger Man. Ruddy amber beer with a thin white head. Aroma is lightly toasty with a touch of light piney hoppiness. The flavour is quite astringent and hoppy. Very pithy/piny bitterness. Initially the hops clobber everything else. As it warms up, it improves it significantly. The nose shows a lightly floral/fruity character. Some light citrus and pine. Very hoppy finish witha very lean peppery character throughout. It’s okay, but it’s definitely not great.

Sep 16, 2008 I love the regular YSB so I was pretty pumped to try this super-sized version. Pours a hazy orange amber with an orange-tinted creamy head. Sweet toffee, and a mixture of earty and resinous hop aroma fill the nose. The palate strikes a perfect balance between chewy toffee malts and generous (but not overpowering) hop character. I think there is some criticism here about this beer not being ";imperial enough";, but I don’t think that detracts from it’s overall quality, craftsmanship, and drinkability. I found it to be delicious!;

Sep 6, 2008 Poured from the ceramic bottle a copper color with off-white head. Aroma was piney hops and bready malts. Flavor was bitter hops balanced by sweet and bready malts. Medium body and a nice bitter finish. Tasted like a good English bitter ale.

Aug 21, 2008 Dark amber with white head. Malty nose. Another big brew. Malty and hoppy big on the tongue. Hops dominate but full body provides a nice balance.
