Dollar per oz. serving at the Dark Lord release bash. Back porch wood sealant color with light beige head. Nice hoppy piney aroma. Simple bitter hoppy taste with a little carmel malt underneath. Solid IPA, but not even in the same class as 3F’s Dreadnaught (or Alpha King for that matter). Not a bad effort, but certainly not a unique beer to search out.

Pours a clear burnt orange, thin white head which dissipates. Aroma is the characteristic three floyd apricot and hops aroma but buried in oak. Hints of caramel apples, interesting smell. Flavor is sweet dried apricots followed by a nice hoppy bitterness which is accompanied by heavy oak which is lasting in the finish. Very interesting beer - an oak aged imperial IPA. Very nice as usual from FFF

Bottle with the Club. Pours a clear amber with an off-white head. Smells of oak. Sweet with strong oaky aromas and vanilla. Full body. Sticky mouthfeel. Too much oak.

Sampled at tronraner’s Xmas Eve^3 tasting. Clear amber pour with small white head. Sweet vanilla and hop aroma. Flavor is a very mellow earthy hoppiness with some fruitiness as well. And again with some awesome label art!

Uklar ravfarvet med et lille hvidt skum. Dufter af træfade, vanilie og slikbutik. Smager af masser af træ og humle, valilie og er sød. Let sprittet og let fuldig.

Bottle. Cloudy golden coloured with a small white ehad. Sweet aroma of fruits, caramel, dried fruits and alcohol with notes of oak. Sweet flavour of fruits, dried fruits, caramel, oak and hops with notes of grape fruits. Hoppy and warming alcoholic finish.
