Commercial Description:
ADMIN NOTE: Brewdog have recently changed the recipe for this beer quite significantly. We are currently considering whether this change is sufficiently drastic to warrant a new listing. In the meantime could all raters ensure that they note which version they had in their rating to facilitate a split in due course, should that de deemed necessary. Whether you had the "new" or "old" version can be determined by reference to the batch number and the best before date. The newest batch is 037 and the BBD 03/09/10 (British dating) anything before this date or batch is the old version.

Filtered bottle and sometimes available as a special in the cask.
"Explicit Imperial Ale".
Ingredients: Barley, hops, yeast, water.

Bought from and nearly returned to Sainsbury. Apricot amber in colour with little carbonation and no lacing. Had a similar effect to using mouthwash for the first time, burning and stripping the palate with a medicinal glow.

Bottle shared by shawnm213, purchased at The Party Source on his trip to Cincinnati- thanks, Shawn! Pours a clear gold with a medium off-white head. Aroma of citrusy hops, caramel, citrus, bread. Flavor follows suit, with more alcohol apparent. Bitter, light bodied, with a dry, bitter finish. Shawn and I must have had the old version because the BBD on the label is 2/2/10 and the batch number is 207.

One of the best "non-american" IPA’s I’ve tried in a while. Pours almost a golden yellow, very hoppy and citrus notes to the nose, and taste, not bitter or sour, just right!

[330ml bottle from Jim - cheers!] Batch 228. Amber, thin white head. Powerful, fresh aroma of candied tropical fruit and those fruit salad chewy sweets from your childhood. Tropical fruits carry on into the flavour with tons of hops, grapefruit, pine, a bit of petrol and a little bitterness. Alcohol very evident. Interesting but vicious - it goes sraight to your head and is very much a beer for sipping.

This ones alittle too hardcore for me. Very very hoppy. Full body with thick hops and peppery to the nose. I feel like while it tastes good initially there is just too much alcohol in this one to make it enjoyable to drink. Very hoppy with a great appearance.
