Have you read the description for the regular Crooked Tree yet? Well this beer is almost the same just double the flavor and alcohol. We actually took the Crooked Tree recipe and doubled all of the ingredients except the water, just the way a DOUBLE should be made. Big hops balanced with tons of malt give this beer a huge body. Although this beer is as cool as "The Fonz" when first purchased, it gets really mellow and smooth with some age. After a year or two stored in a cool dark place you'll notice the heavy caramel and malt flavors are trying to sneak past the hops. This beer is hugely delicious so it will need your undivided attention (the chores can wait....trust us).

Bottle, 12% abv. Appearance is amber, fairly murky, a small white head which quickly disappears. Aroma- pineapple, grapefruit, mango, hints of apple, caramel and toffee sweetness, hop resin. Taste- fruity, orange peel, bitter hops, fairly full in the mouth- bready malt, hint of caramel sweetness, fairly sticky finish, with some alcohol burn. Pretty good.

Another share thanks to Willrunforbeer. Orange Amber color with very slight head. Aroma shows a thick amount of bready malt, orange marmalade and mild citrus tones.
The alcohol is really mellow for an over 12% ABV the bitterness really nice and lingering. The malt and hop bitterness is a really nice balance. The balance is tits!!

Poured into SA Perfect Pint showing a finger and a half of copper tinged white foam and dark caramel brown practically opaque. The nose shows a lot of sweet malts with faint notes of tropical fruit and a honey in the background. The palate is medium bodied and lightly carbonated. A lot of sweet caramel malts are apparent on this making it much more akin to a Belgian Ale. The bitterness doesn’t really appear until after sipping hence giving the a much more Pilsner-like finish rather than the sharp bitterness from most IPA’s. A slight spiciness lingers on the tongue but does not bring any heat hence probably more likely to be lively carbonation on the finish. In conclusion, I’d say this is one of the few IIPA’s that is actually over malted.

12oz bottle. Poured a hazy copper color with a small off-white head. Aroma was a lot of pine resin, some herbal, orange notes. Flavor was boozy pine resin notes. Orange citrus notes, lots of alcohol heat on this one. Bitter, boozy.

Flaska delad med JanVah på Sorbon. Underbara dofter av tropisk fruktaffär. Perfekt balans mellan sötma och beska. Ljuvlig fredags-aw.

355ml bottle from Beers of Europe. 12% these days, by the way. Pours clear amber, thin white head. Aromas of wood alcohol, pine. Taste is oily, malty, sweet, alcohol burn. Medium body, slick finish. Just ok, thought it would be better.
