22 ounce bottle shared by MI2CA. Pours syrupy amber with some white head. Real nice bland of toffee and maple to go with some pine hops in the nose. Dirty, gritty hops with a nice malty bitter finish. I’d say this is Behemoth light. Medium body, yet there’s still some heft. Average carbonation with a semisweet finish. Really good stuff. Thanks for sharing Ted.

Pours gold with a thin white head. Smells of resin, pepper, some caramel. Tastes of pine resin, some peppery splashes, a syruppy malty finish.

22oz bottle, courtesy of Swolf3. Could smell the nice piney aroma as soon as I opened it. Poured a orange/yellow color, really nice tolook at. A little hop bitterness followed by a malty sweetness, very tasty. Nice lacing as well, thanks Steven.

Bottle. Big thanks to msante79 for this one. Piney citrus aroma. Tastes of citrus, pine, honey and malt. Finishes nicely bitter. Well done IIPA.

Breadlike malt aroma with a citrus pineapple background, some gingerbread and cookie. Bubbly tan head with a clear golden amber body. Fairly thick on the tongue, creamy with flavors of hops, Malt is strong enough for a rich balance. Alcohol seems buried somewhere in there. Caramel sweetness is present. Very good.

Bottle thanks to zathrus13. Wax was fun trying to get off. Pours with a large, creamy, tight bubbled, off-white head. Slightly chil hazed golden yellow body. Head sticks like glue, both to the top of the beer and the side of the glass. Aroma has lots of candi, caramel, apricot and tangarine hops. Really a room filling aroma. Taste is sweet at strong with some light citrus and faded fruity malts bringing up the rear. Alcohol is well hidden. Creamy smooth mouthfeel, light bubbles. Great beer!

650ml bottle as shown. Right off the bat I was excited for this bad boy being that un*earthly is as if god himself was pouring beer in my mouth. The wax is a total bitch to remove. Once opened, this possesses some of the intensity but it more refined in that the unfiltered hop adds more of a body to the brew. Awesome.

500ml bomber bottle split with Ann. Unless you count trying to open corked bottles without a corkscrew, this beer is one of the hardest to open that I’ve ever had. Wax really did the job in terms of sealing it. Glowing, murky orange color. Very piny evergreen aroma. Equally piny taste, a little syrupy. Lots of hop character. Great balance of flavors compliments the high alcohol well. Awesome dry hop character. Excellent beer.
