Nov 8, 2006 $12.99 for this dogshit? And it gets an 80 rating to boot. Wow, I’m just not seeing it. Strict and harsh alcohol bite followed by an astrigent hop flavor. Seems like the whole purpose of this beer is to be big; flavor, taste and balance be damned.

Nov 1, 2006 2006 750ml bottle. Bright copper hue. Spotty off-white head. Soapy and floral fruity hop nose. Medium bodied. Lightly roasted caramel flavor. Nice dry burn. Needs to mellow? Lively and truly bitter. Soapy, piney, lemony citrus. But still initially deliciously sweet. Like cake. Then the dry bitter sticky flavors hit all parts of the palate. Great transition.

Nov 1, 2006 Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Lightly hazy ruby, creamy head. Rich hoppy aroma of sweaty lychee. Despite it’s full size it feels streamlined, yet fairly soft. Warming peppery alcohol is evident. The hops are evident, but not that overpowering so it remains balanced (as far as DIPAs go), shying away from stickyness and syrup. Powerful bitterness, but due to it’s body it’s actually less striking than in the 4.3% English cask bitter I just had.

Oct 29, 2006 Poured a slightly murky amber with orange hues with a huge, lacing, frothy white head. The aroma on this beer knocks you out. It’s thick, hoppy, floral, piney, citrus, everything you’d expect in an aroma from a beer. The flavor is more subtle than the aroma; grainy, peppery, spicy and a little mellow. Sticky but slightly watery on the palate, the bitterness of the hops stays on the tongue.

Oct 25, 2006 22 oz. bottle on 10/21/06. Pours clear amber developing a large yellowish white head with good lace. Spicy hops over some grain in the aroma. Smooth medium body and light carbonation combine for a pleasant mouthfeel. Caramel, toasted grain, and peppery hops lead into a bitter finish. Easy to drink and enjoyable.
