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. Newer batches will probably appear before we have this sorted out.

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

Flaske 0,355l fra juletilbudet hos Alko Arkadia. Gyldenbrun på farge. Et høyt luftig skum som fester seg til glasset og varte en god stund. Ser pent ut! Fyldig fruktig aroma: Appelsin og epler. Smaken er velbalansert og sammensatt. Mye frukt og innslag av krydder. Blir veldig bitter etterhvert og etterlater en tørr fruktig bitterhet. God fylde.

Pours hazy auburn with a i cm tall but very thick white head. Oranges, pine sap, mango, and grapefruit candy in the nose. Denser mouthfeel than the Punk IPA. Grapefruit and orange peel with resin in the taste, with that iced tea flavor. Biscuits. The malt is earthier than the Punk IPA, which seems to fit with the higher alcohol. Again, different than my usual West Coast IPA’s, but very good.

Bottle that I picked up at Westholme Stores, Goring-on-Thames, Oxon and consumed at Cropredy Festival 2008 Pours light gold with a nice white head. There is a slight thick honey sweetness and its hoppy with also some lovely silky, citrusy, and tangy sweetness. This really was quite hoppy but I’d had the Ruination beforehand so I think the effect had been diminished ever so slightly, still this is a great beer.

Bottle. Light unclear medium yellow orange color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate to heavy hoppy, citrus, fruit, toffee. Flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet and moderate bitter with a long duration. Very refreshing and easy to drink. Body is medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. (050208)

Clear, medium-gold, not much head. Hopped-up nose, lots of orange and lemon. Quaffable palate, smooth but strong. Hot and smooth at same time. Very good.

Bottle 33 cl, BB 21-11-2010. Pours a clear copperish amber with a small white head and a creamy, fruity and hoppy aroma. The taste is initially high on sweet malts and rich fruits, but after that a brutal hoppy bitterness comes kicking in. A great beer!
