Tap @ Malthouse. Tried the 2015 version. I don't usually enjoy hops as a dominant flavour but this was at such a level that it really shines. Right up there with my favorite Strong ales and wouldn't want to miss the chance to have it again. Too bad I was on work time and couldn't get another.

2013 edition. Pours a light orange gold with slight white head. Large hoppy aroma with hints of passionfruit. Strong bitter front with a lot of hop forward flavours. Lingering bitterness with a full bitter mouth feel.

BOTTLE. Pale light gold with thin white head.. Huge sappy nose yet sweet.. Big malt base, caramel sweetness goes to "small" fruit hop backend, abv is in the warmth.. Sourced Ricky/Muz

Powerful resiny aroma of pine, orange pulp, caramel malts and some sort of dark fruit. The sweet malt base give it a seriously boozy kick that threaten to overwhelm the massive load of hops. But they don’t and result is rich and resiny and more than a little dangerous.

500mL bottle from Slowbeer. 14% alc/vol - scary! Clear deep golden body, holds a fluffy white head. Aroma is resiny, brutal, somewhat thick, unrelenting before the tongue gets involved - candy orange, resiny herbs, woody sap, biscuity malts, rich caramels. It is really hard to believe this is a 14% beer - whilst it’s thick, rich, syrupy, it might perhaps allude to 9-10%, no burn, no astringency. Resin - it’s like hop oil, not that I know what that is like, but it’s oily - oozy citrus, wood sap, tropical fruits,. It just lingers for soooooo long, and you kinda realise how strong it is after a while... Anyway, just really well balanced for a HUGE hop monster!

Crikey. This is now 14% ABV and you are well aware of that from the first sip. But before then, the glorious aroma of fruit & pine, plus rich amber colour tell you this is a biggie. Usually I rate IPAs with higher aroma than taste scores, but this is taste-dominant. The aroma is massive, but the taste... Try this at least once before you die, but speaking of that, make sure you are not driving

UPDATED: AUG 12, 2015 (2015) bottle 14% ABV - like an all action hero fight going on , it’s all measured and in control, no one taste over another, it’s just brilliant (2014)This is a lot sweeter than you could expect it to be. The alcohol astringent isn’t shy either and you know you’re getting smashed on this. But it’s decent and dangerously quaffable, and I may have to sit in a quiet place and pretend not to be slurring my words whilst smiling to myself in enjoyment .

Melbourne beer week 2013. Sampled many beers and this is the one that stood out. Quite simply one of my favorite beers. Please brew more. This is why god invented hops. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

UPDATED: JUN 5, 2017 Seriously delicious and dangerous. When indulged carefully, there are few brews that are better.
