A fairly recent acquisition, I am concerned about this 22 oz bomber of The Train I Ride. A stamp on the bottle shows a born on date of 4/27/18, some time back for an IPA. What to do? Drink it of course. I pop the cap and pour into a Cowtown Brewing snifter. It arrives a clear, medium yellow topped by a slender white coating. The nose, tangerine, shaved pine and something slightly medicinal. A drink at last, yes, pretty nice. Here comes mown grass, cedar, a fair push of hops, honey and pineapple. Not rewriting the book on potent IPAs, a masked abv, but not falling down either.

Pretty sure I'm drinking this a bit past its prime as an IPA, but as a hopped-up barleywine...not bad. Massive front of caramel, orange marmalade, and peach, backed up by grapefruit, pencil shavings, and pine, with hints of chive and dank circling the periphery. Woody finish could use a touch more bitterness--age brings out the bottle's sweet side--but the lingering notes of citrus and caramel make for a pleasant fade. Booziness stays mostly hidden despite the formidable ABV. Nose is a tad unpleasant, with damp malt and musty cardboard undermining the alcohol-tinged sweetness, but everything else works well. Nice pint.

650 ml bottle. Pours a dark amber with moderate head. Aromas of candied orange, toffee, and sweet malts. Flavors follow same but with a nice balance bitter toastiness and a bit of pine. Except of the end which is sweet malty toffee.

22 ounce bottle. Hazy honey gold pour. Massive frothy white head. Minerally malt nose hints at pine and sweet woodruff. Spicy, bittersweet toasted malt flavor upfront. Hints of lemon peel, bitters and pink peppercorns. Smooth, bitter flavor throughout. Boozy like a well-worn floosy. Intense, yet flavorful. Looks good, tastes good, must be good.

32oz crowler pours with a clear copper body that supports a thin light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up malts, a blunted spike of caramel, earthy hoppy bread and some pine hops. The taste delivers fairly smooth malt sweetened pine hops, a faint sweet breadiness and then heading into earthy spicy bread somehow. Toward the finish are more pine hops, a hit of caramel and then some booze. A little jumbled and incoherent.

650 ml bottle from Canada Craft Beer Club - A very well constructed imperial with an interesting fruity yeast profile, but a slight lack of hop complexity. Bouteille de 650 ml. Petits tons de terre et fruité de levure aux accents de jujubes servent d'entrée à l'olfactif. Les tons de terre s'accentuent au tournis laissant même présager un défaut. Soupçon de fruits tropicaux et d'ananas. Liquide ambré très légèrement voilé et recouvert d'une épaisse mousse crémeuse. Puissante chaleur d'alcool sur des tons plutôt fruités en entrée de bouche.Présence de résine issue d'un houblonnage à froid sur une finale tranchante aux allures de conifère. Fruité de levure et de houblonnage bien balancé. Le corps est ample; la texture grasse et l'effervescence douce. Une impériale bien construite avec un fruité de levure intéressant mais un léger manque de complexité des saveurs issues des houblons.

Pours clear gold into a tulip. Bright white head with excellent retention recedes to pancake surface. Hot caramel and resin aromas. Thick with dank resin and hot caramel upfront turning to bitter earth in the lasting burn finish. Quite hot.
