Oct 15, 2009 Pours a slightly hazy copper color. Nice off-white head with some lacing. Aroma is not very hoppy, more sweet and malty. Citrus and creamy mouthfeel. Not even that intensely bitter. A bit mild for a double IPA.

Oct 11, 2009 (Draught at Oliver Twist, Stockholm) Golden amber colour with brief, off-white head. Fruity, slightly malty nose with dried apricots and floral hops. A bit closed. Fruity, malty, hoppy taste with dried apricots, grainy malt and generous doses of grapefruit and piney hops in a long, bitter, dry finish. Medium body, actually lighter than the abv would suggest, and mainly dry. Overall that makes a beer that goes down easier than the alcohol level indicates. Very nice and tasty, deceptively drinkable.

Sep 28, 2009 Bottle. Moderate malt and hop aromas of roasted, caramel and grapefruit, light soap for the yeast, with background notes of date, toffee and sour milk. Head is average size, creamy/frothy, off-white with good lacing and is mostly lasting. Color is clear light copper. Flavor starts moderately sweet and lightly acidic, then finishes moderately bittersweet and lightly acidic. Palate is medium, oily with a soft carbonation. One off note detracted a bit from an otherwise pretty good DIPA.

Sep 14, 2009 Drinking this tonight in honor of RB rating #222. Bottle from Crown #6. Pours semi-clear dark orange/brown with 1/2 inch foamy white head. Nose is nice citrus hops with a touch of pine. Taste is stale hops, caramel malt, bready yeast. I think I got to this bottle a little too late, I know I’ve enjoyed it much more in the past. Even still, this has hops written all over it. Past it’s prime, yet enjoyable.

Sep 13, 2009 Bottle. A very, very nice double hop! I loved it upon first swallow. Very drinkable for a high alcohol content beer.

Sep 10, 2009 Pours a copper color with a thick tan head. Hops aroma not as strong as I thought it would be; aroma of biscuit, caramel, and citrus. Sweet up front with a nice hop bitterness bringing up the rear. Not as hoppy as I thought it would be, be still a very nicely balanced IIPA.

Sep 8, 2009 Excellent IPA. Strong hops from begining to end. Loved it. Very well balanced for a beer this tough.
