Oct 4, 2009 Bottle at RBESG 09 Sheffield. Chestnut colour, lasting beige head. Stick your nose in a bag of Cetennials. Intense strong and slightly syrupy. God, that is just so hoppy. Pure hop sensation, not outlandish, not unbalanced. Not boozy. Joint best beer of the day.

Aug 1, 2009 Bottle at the RBESG09, Grand tasting, sheffield. Alround rating: Massive hop win, good amount of sweet honey and caramalt coming through but its all about the citrus and lightly blackcurrent hops. Beer of the trip for me!

Aug 4, 2009 2009-05-26, draught at Plan B, Copenhagen, 9-4-9-5-18=45
Dark mahogany color, hazy, with amber reflex, and very small head. It has a massive aroma, sweet caramel and aromatic hops, both fruity and resiny. Very strong body, luckily with low carbonation, with a huge caramel flavor, nice sweetness, and powerful hopping; the hops bring bitter oranges and resins. Long and strong final. Nothing refined here, just the usual bomb, a beer for real men ;-)

Beautiful amber color. Deep aroma, extremely hoppy, with mostly resins, and some fruitness; later, a nice earthy touch. Very strong caramel flavor, sweet, with nice hop resins and bitter oranges, lightly astringent in the end. Strong bitterness, maybe a bit aggressive. Powerful and very enjoyable.

Clear orange coloured with a small off white head.
Fruity aroma of caramel and rye bread with notes of hops and pine needles.

Dry hoppy finish.

Jun 3, 2009 During six days in Copenhagen I enjoyed this delicious brew on tap at CBF 09, Lord Nelson and Plan B. Attractive deep, russet coloured body. Minimal head. Smell of grapes and citrus peels. Dry hopped taste profile with pine needles, dark fruits and caramel sweetness. Long lasting bittersweet aftertaste. Massive and heavy and a joy to the senses (mid-May 09).

May 21, 2009 Tap @ Ølfestival, Valby, 2009.
Pours deep mahogany red. A small off-white film head on top. Aroma has strawberries, light caramel malts, vinious notes, hops (Centennial?), liqourice and some port character. Good creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is bitter, but with lots of sweet caramel. Fat and malty, lightly roasted with good strawberry notes. This is just immensely drinkable. The 10 % ABV is just nowhere to be seen. Nice!

Nov 3, 2009 A Mes rate. Bottle at LCRBM #5.
Very dark amber with an impressive off white head. Inviting looks. Utterly amazing hops. So big and juicy. Loads of spruce, glorious citric notes and a superb supporting role from the malt. Considering the pure outlandishness of the hops the balance is actually really good. Finishes massively bitter. Bloody awesome stuff. Cock off Stella!

Lovely pine aroma. Packed with flavour, you feel a malty base here, but it is not allowed to surface. A hop bomb.
