Can. Brown with a large beige head. Aroma of grape juice, oranges, chocolate brioche, prunes, pine-scented candles. Weird. Sweet with stewed fruit, toffee and buttery brioche, resinous bitterness creeps up. Butter or vanilla? - I kept changing my mind. Surprisingly light textured but the booze and bitterness are wearing after a while. All over the shop.

From a 375ml can on 6/9/2017. Pours a cloudy dark red amber with a small to medium head. Has a quite a strong aroma of caramel and stewed fruit. In the mouth, there's lots of caramel and brown sugar, sweet citrus and stone fruit (orange, peach), pine and resin. The hops are huge and coat the tongue, balancing the pronounced syrupy sweetness. The palate is slick, creamy and full bodied, with moderate carbonation. I like really rate their standard Dark Red IPA, but this is something else. A wonderful, intense, cohesive and complex brew. Sensational stuff.
