Looks great. Bright and fiery red-brown colour and a thin bubbly head. Aroma is chewy and a bit buttery. The body is fairly light for the style. There’s more diacetyl than hop, which is sort of backgroundy. The malts are nice, smooth, lightly caramelly with a touch of crystal. If you look at this as more of an imperial red, you’ll find it quite good, except for the diacetyl, which is perceptible and therefore a problem.

650 ml bottle. Pours a brown amber with little head. Aromas of oranges, resin, and roasted malts. Flavours of a weak barley wine. Citrus hops and malts. But neither a good barley wine or DIPA.

Smells bad initially. Once its in your mouth it’s ok but almost smells like turkey stuffing of something in the beginning. Very boozy. Pours cloudy orange with good head and lacing. Some hoppy bitterness in finish, then some resin. Bottle from BCLS.

Draft - Malt caramel sweetness no real hop nose. Clear amber with rich but small head. Bitterness that hits the back of the throat. Flavor of resin, not very appealing.

Bottle from Central City Liquor Store, Surrey
Hazy amber color, medium sized creamy head. The aroma has very nice toasted and biscuity notes. Good body strength; the flavor profile plays mainly with the same toasted malts and biscuity notes; it has strong bitterness, but without major hop qualities; the final becomes a bit chewy on crystal malt likeness.
Pleasant strong stuff.

22 oz. bottle, pours a hazy orangey amber with a small off-white head. Aroma is quite mild, with biscuity malt upfront and some faded citrus hops in the background (this bottle is very fresh, by the way). Flavour is heavy on the malt for a Double IPA with only very light bitterness from the citrus hops coming, but dominated by the sweet-ish caramel malts. Drinkable, but amateurish, sub-standard and boring.
