Dec 16, 2006 An amber beer with a disappearing orange head. The aroma is sweet and very hoppy and with strong notes of fruit. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of caramel, towards the end the hops grows in intensity with notes of grass and grapefruit, in the end the alcohol shows its presence with a slight burn. The finish is dry and bitter.

Dec 16, 2006 (Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a clear amber golden with a small, off-white head. Incredibly delicate and aromatic hop aroma. Full-bodied with lightly sweet caramel, overripe fruit and then a hoppy, but not overly bitter finish. Close to a Barley Wine crossover. Thanks heaps to my Secret Santa JCapriotti for this gem. 151206

Aug 27, 2007 Bottled (thanks heemer77!). Hazy nutbrown colour with mediumsized beige bubbly/foamy head. Aroma is grassy and hoppy along with some fudge and even more hops. Flavour is very grassy hoppy along with lots of caramel and fruits coming in. Really fruity and nice aftertaste.

clear amber, pours a big fine beige head leaving behind nice lace,
sweet fruity pine aroma with soft floral hops,
creamy body,
medium hop flavor on a nice sweet carmel malt base, touch of sticky sweet pine sap, good fruity character shows up after warming, nice bitter finish but much more flavor than bitterness,
very drinkable for an IIPA as it does not overwhelm in any aspect but just intensifies as it warms
