A full-bodied, full on Double I.P.A. combining caramel and malt flavours with a well-balanced and substantial bitterness. Light carbonation allows the full flavour of this Double IPA to shine through. At 7.5% abv, the high alcohol content is balanced with a caramel sweetness and a full bodied malt character.

BOTTLE 50 CL. Clear copper, beige head with lacing. Crystal malts, caramel and lollipops, faint piney hops and notes of alcohol. Kind of the opposite to what a good modern IPA should be (even if this bottle is not fresh).

Pours clear copper color with small and medium lasting white head. Nose is caramel malts and hops, refreshing citrus. Full body with very soft carbonation. Thick, oily texture. A bit sticky. Bittersweet mouthfeel. Aroma of caramel, toffee, hops, citrus fruit, somewhat spicy. Some alcohol presence on the tongue. Dry finish. Not as bitter as I expected, considering the IBU level of 80. Overall, nice one, especially when served ice cold.

Bottle from Terre de Boissons Calais and drunk at home. Clear deep amber colour lasting beige head. Resiny hoppy aroma. Some toffee, some resiny hop, some bitterness. Quite a good hit of alcohol. Yes it is quite sweet. I do like the hops too. Nice enough if a little too sweet.
