From a 320ml glass from tap at the brewery on 12/1/2019. Pours a clear deep golden Amber with a small head. Has a sweet malty caramel nose. Flavour is caramel and toffee malt, and dried and dark fruit. Has a decent tempering bitterness. Super syrupy with softish carbonation. Sensational.

deep amber color. Off white head. Fairly boozy nose with marmalade and citrus nose. Chewy, resiny mouth with tons of marmalade, apricot cake, apples. Not as boozy as expected full body. Sweet finish with apricot cake finish. Alcohol lingers Pretty good for such a high abv beer

(On tap - and clearly no longer retired) Pours cloudy deep amber brown with good white head. Nice aroma - toffee, raisins, pine. Great palate - full bodied, oily, sticky with bright carbonation. Great taste - starts off with toffee rich sweetness with raisins and hints of pine and citrus. The rich sweet notes grow and then hoppy bitterness builds. A great beer.

On tap at Wig & Pen, pours a hazy dark orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out resinous hops, caramel, and candied sugar. Flavour is surprisingly wonderfully balanced, with loads of resinous hops, candied sugar and caramel malt. Sweet but not close to cloying. Triple IPAs are really hard to balance but they totally nailed this. Excellent.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours clear dark golden. Intense hops aroma, like a full summer breeze. Clearly outclasses the Cluster 8 in intensity, but I find it a bit over the top.
