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.

Golden color with a white head. Aroma of weak citrus hops and a little alcohol. Flavor is pretty sweet and malty and the finish is very bitter and hoppy. Different but not in a good way.

Bottled at Blackfriars, Glasgow. Pale amber. Heavy grapefruit aroma. Sweet malt dried out by severe amounts of sweaty grapefruity hops. Dense and caramelly with notes of gooseberries. Resiny very bitter finish. A but aggresive and on the sweet side.

660ml Bottle: Aroma of hops, grass, toffee, and grapefruit. Poured amber in color with a large, creamy, foamy, rocky, off-white head that lasted throughout. Hazy. Very sparkling. Excellent lacing. Flavor is lightly sweet and light to medium bitter. Tastes of hops, grass, toffee, butter, cream, and Ringwoood yeast. Medium body. Syrupy, chalky texture. Soft to average carbonation. Grassy, creamy finish.

Cloudy light gold body with a bright white head. The aroma has some nice fresh baked bread and hints of orange flowers. Very subtle in the hopping, especially as they want this to be considered a IIPA. The taste is bread crust and iced tea. There is also a little bit of orange peel, but it is subtle. I would consider this more of a big amber rather than an IIPA. Still, a decent and very drinkable beer.

Pours with an orange gold body with little head and not much lacing. It’s slightly sweet and malty with a light fruity hop note and a lingering bitterness. Medium bodied and slightly dry.

(22oz. bottle) Pours a clear yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of strong urine upfront and then settles with grapefruit, butterscotch, ginger, honey, peanut butter, cereal, and light pine. Flavor of hops (floral, grassy, resin, herbal) and caramel malt.
