Bottle during RBWG. Pours a cloudy orange gold with small frothy off white head. The aroma is pine and citrus. Similar flavor with weird soap flavor.

Bottle while watching super long Swedish film. This is not very good beer. Pours murky brown with nose of malt and molasses. Tastes of amaretto, malt, caramel, dirt, and molasses. Sweet and bitter and messy.,

12 ounce bottle courtesy of pepsican. Thanks! Pours a hazy dark amber with fine floating particles. Thin creamy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of toffee malts, stone fruits and not much in the way of hops. The taste is toffee malts, stone fruits and muted citrus hops. Light tartness, faint lingering bitterness, low carbonation, low heat. This is underwhelming as an IPA, much less a DIPA.

Draft taster. I did not want a second strong beer before hitting the road, and although the sign for this beer said "No Samples," the server did shoot a tiny sample into a glass (for which I tipped in a dollar). This is not a knee-breaking DIPA by any means. But there is a stinging bitterness in the first sip and a suggestion of those Pacific Northwest hops. The hops are held back by a malty backbone. plus a taste of yeast, presuming this beer is unfiltered at premises.

This really isn’t a very good double IPA. Doesn’t even taste remotely like an IPA to begin with. Very malty beer that’s almost cloying in its sweetness. Little in the way of hop flavor. Not much here to recommend.

Bottle thanks to SS. Pours with a deep bronze to copper body with a small tan head. Aroma is very malty, brown sugar, caramel, slightly perfumey, citrus and floral hops. Alcohol, brown sugar and bread. Flavors are raisins, rubber, malt, caramel, train wreck of a hoppy beer. Very light citrus. Might do better as an barley wine, but still not all that enjoyable. Medium bubbles, dry. Cereal, metal. Blah.

12 oz. bottle, pours dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma is a little medicinal, quite syrupy, with cloying caramel and light hops. Flavour is of cough syrup, amaretto, caramel malts and barely any hops. Quite medicinal and offensive, really.

12oz shorty bottle. Deep amber-red color, steady off-white/beige head. Thick, aromatic aroma, resiny hoppiness. Sort of underwhelming in the hop department, this comes off more like a Barleywine than a IIPA. A quality mouthfeel, interesting touches of caramel, cinnamon, pine. Overall just too conservative with the hops. Still a quality effort, enjoyable enough.
