500 ml bottle, bb 08/2014, shared by Cuso at RB Tasting Vienna March Edition. Thanks!
Dark brown body, with a medium, creamy, yellowish head.
Aroma with a lot of blood orange, ripe fruits, sweat, subtle roasty malts.
Taste has more of those roasty malts, like coffee and chocolate, also grapefruit, dark berries, some stone fruits.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a low carbonation.
Finishes medium bitter, a bit roasty, citric, with slight berries.

Nice one. Although far past the best before date, still very interesting and really unique. I’m curious how this tasted fresh, but this seems to age very well.

Bottle (Diky, Imro!):Clear, ruby-amber coloured,; hoppy and caramelly nose with a delicate tinge of red wine; moderate dry bitter flavour, tart and medium bodied; lingering dry vinous and fruity-hoppy finish. Good...

Bottle thanks to Cuso. Pours dark brown tan head. Nose/taste of tree bark, dark malt, cocoa, medicinal notes, dirt and grass and nutty bread. Lighter bodied. Definitely nothing even close to a IIPA.

Jun ’14. A 0.5 l bottle, thanks to Slovak RB crew! It poured clear dark copper body with medium sized head. Nice orange aroma, but mostly malty, like cooked oranges immersed into a biscuit. Aroma included also a bit of spices like peat, slight tobacco and some alcohol. Fine, but not what you expect of an IIPA. Flavor was sweet as well, rather weak biscuit and bread malt, while spices became a bit more earthy. Medium in body with finish following the flavor. Weird, to a degree enjoyable, although might be incomplete as ogivlado says, but definitely off what they (probably) meant to brew.

500ml bottle, thanks to Cuso! Pours deep reddish brown with foamy beige head. Citrus hop aroma, earthy pine and malt in the taste with some moss & bark. Ok red ale.

Bottled 500ml. -Thanks Slovakian crew for this one. Darker cola coloured, small off-white head, strange nose; the best description is rose hip with notes of vodka. Sweet malty (light roasted), flowery and alcoholic with notes of caramel. Not bad but incomplete.

Imperial Red Ale apparently, thanks Gurthnar & Cuso! Poured a dark ruby body with a small off white head. Interesting aroma, notes of sweetbread, alcohol, raisins. Where are the hops? Limp taste revealing more alcohol than there should be... malts dominate this, strange bitterness... earthy. That sweetbread note is interesting, but I expected something completely different and more complex. Damn... we must’ve run into an off bottle. Definitely unique, but none of us liked it in the end. Shame. Hope I get to rerate it in Slovakia...

Bottle. Aroma is entirely hoppy, fruity, yet earthy, grassy. Lets say close to the ground. Clear dark ruby colour. Taste is again mostly hoppy. Has some malt balance, coffee and such, but mostly hoppy. Fruity and earthy. Too earthy for my liking, tart. Good beer.
