Made popular by the craft brewers of America, Imperial IPA is a revived style of beer that pushes the boundaries of well-hopped, high-strength ales. Imperial IPA's are traditionally brewed with a high proportion of crystal malt. Our unique take sees UK hop varieties Target, Goldings and Fuggles added to the copper at multiple points during the brew, delivering a piney, earthy aroma and a distinct edge of bitterness. For extra intrigue, we've also added a hint of black pepper - giving the beer a unique spicy twist. Bottle conditioned.

Bottlw shared at home. Pours copper with off white head. Nose is resinous hops, sweet booze, caramel, nuts. Taste is warming, sweet booze, some honey, caramel and bitterish hops. Medium to heavy body, soft to average carbo. Pretty much like a bw/strong ale, but quite tasty nevertheless.

Bottle from the LCBO. Dark copper pour, with a large off white head. Aroma is a bast of thick, sticky, syrupy malts. Caramel, toffee, and sticky, dank pine resins abound. The malt bill on this must be massive. This is a true old school DIPA. Just a sticky glass of high octane malty pine juice. fantastic, i loved it.

Bottle, 0.50l, shared with Saska and Tomaz. Aroma of caramel, wood, dried fruit, flowers and pine. Pours clear brown color with thin creamy tan-like head and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts with sweet caramel and dried fruit, following is herbal, woody and peppery, mouthfeel is warm alcoholic and mild spicy, while finish is heavy bitter. Full body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. Heavy armor…

Bottled. Amber colour with a mediumsized creamy white head. Aroma is floral, some sweet malts, mild alcohol along with strong nectary tones. Flavour is somewhat bitter with a nice floral and nectary sweetness to it, without forgetting the malts either. Nicely in balance, but feels like it's lacking something.

(Bottle) Brownish red colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, hoppy nose with treacle-toffee, dried fruit, dates, caramel, dark bread, orange peel, resin, port wine and nuts. Malty, sweet taste with notes of brown sugar, dried fruit, dates, figs, caramel, dark bread, orange peel, butterscotch, resin, nuts, Madeira wine and a balanced resiny/spicy bitterness in the finish. Almost full body, sweet. Good hop presence, solid malt profile, lots of dried fruit and vinous notes of fortified wine. Complex. Very nice.

0,5 bottle. The packaging is beautiful. The beer is even more beautiful. Classic perfect amber color, nice thick creamy yellowish-white foam. The foam remains thin, but when stirred with your fingers it forms wonderfully. Very beautiful. The aroma is raisin, cognac, dried fruit, plum, appropriately intense. If you let it warm up, it becomes even more intense. Serious body, serious, dense sip. Almost no carbonation. The alcohol is felt all the way down our esophagus. Still not disturbing. Serious full-bodied dessert beer. I wouldn't really call it an IPA, for me it's more of a barely-wine. An adventure all evening, don't plan many programs afterwards :) Its lack of carbonation shouldn't bother anyone. If there were more to this, you'd immediately be shocked :) I think it's an underrated beer, an almost perfect blend of lots of delicious malt and lots of hops. Outstanding! It got a "less" point because it's not as bitter as you'd expect from an IPA. Because it's almost not bitter at all. :)

Gyönyörű a kiszerelés. Annál már csak a sör szebb. Klasszikus tökéletes borostyán szín, szép sűrű krémes sárgásfehér hab. A hab vékonyan marad meg, de ujjar keverésnél csodásan képződik. Nagyon szép. Az illata mazsolás, konyakos, aszalt gyümölcsös, szilvás, megfelelően intenzív. Ha hagyjuk melegedni, még intenzívebb. Komoly test, komoly, sűrű korty. Szénsav szinte semmi. Az alkohol végig érződik a nyelőcsövünkön is. Mégsem zavaró. Komoly testes desszert sör. Nem mondanám igazán IPA-nak, számomra ez inkább egy barely-wine. Egész estét kaland, sok programot ne tervezettek utána :) A szénsav-mentessége ne zavarjon senkit. Ha ebben több lenne, azonnal fejre állnál :) Szerintem alul-értékelt sör, a rengeteg finom maláta és a sok-sok komló szinte tökéletes egyvelege. Kiemelkedő! Pontot azért kapott " kevesebbet", mert nem annyira keserű, mint egy IPA-tól várnánk. Mivel szinte nem is keserű. :)

Kicsi, gyorsan elillanó hab, vörösbe hajló barna szín. Édeskés, gyümölcsös, karamelles, ananászos, enyhén cseresznyés illat, komoly fűszeres vonásokkal. Édes, karamelles, ananászos, fűszeres ízek, némi pirosgyümölcsös és gyantás aromákkal. Testes, közepesen szénsavas, közepesen keserű. Finom, markáns ízvilággal rendelkező jól összerakott sör.
