On tap at the brewery. Dark copper body and vague hints of foam, big dry grain aroma with slight coffee notes. The flavour is all big coffee and roasted barley but the finish is weak and the mouthfeel is watery. God Damnit. A few things going on here but still missing the target, a watery attempt at something intense. Northpaw needs to hire one of those Kwantlen students to help them through.

On tap at Northpaw, pours a hazy amber orange with a small beige head. Nose brings out cloyingly sweet syrupy caramel malt and subdued resinous hops. Flavour is along the same lines, with sweet syrupy caramel and seemingly old resinous hops. Tastes old and just not dialed in right, and also way too sweet and malty. Not much right with this.

Can - Malt forward with a touch of berry. Clear copper with a small beige head. Caramel and a touch of bitter berry. Too bitter and very dry.

Dark amber, bright, thin head. Aroma is earthy, chewy. Palate is similar with slightly peachy hop notes. Bit of alcohol starting to define the finish. Decently made, definitely old school.

Draught at the brewery
Amber colour, clean, with creamy head. Sticky malt and caramel base, some candy fruit feeling, orange peel. Not a bad beer, but you would expect a different IIPA in 2018.
Drinkable, but anachronistic.
