Bomber. Brought this a few weeks ago to the HW Open House and the little of it I tried tasted was really good. However, thought I needed a better sample for a rating. Picked this bottle up about a week ago, cellared till about an hour ago. Maybe its not cold enough but I am really not feeling it as much as last time. You know these DIPA can just go down in a hurry. Aroma is all hop, mainly piney (Amarillo?). Main I loved it a few weeks ago but now its just so average. The taste is just hop dominated, nothing special or really discernable. Not a bitter heavy DIPA, which I like. Before I opened this up it was a shoe in for an over 4 score (pretty much what Dickinsonbeer had) but now its so different. Will a DIPA change this quickly or is it all in my head?

[Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm] Clear copper red, small head. Aroma of rye bread and lychee. Sweet and full bodied with clean mouthfeel. Plenty of malt with evident notes of bread and phenols. Alcohol plays a significant part. Lingering salty lychee-like finish. Very solid.

Relatively clear orange-brown body, thick, tight cream-tan head. The aroma is the best aspect of this beer, dense and layered with caramels, toast, sweet berries, brown sugar, and plenty of resiny, grapefruity and piney hops. The sweetness and thick malts carry over to the body but are quickly hollowed by thinning alcohol that significantly restricts the development of the palate. Resiny, strongly bitter hops residues linger on the palate in rather unpleasant fashion as a result of this unfortunate quirk.

(Bottled, Akkurat, stockholm 18 July) Colour is dark amber with hints of ruby. Frothy off-white head, leaving lots of lacing. Nose is initially mainly malty, sweet with notes of syrup and caramel, after a while the not so modest hops break through with citrussy grapefruit notes. Taste is very bitter, sweet with loads of hops and notes of pine needles and resin, some burnt caramel notes as well. Full bodied with an almost oily character. Long bittersweet finish. Rather complex, malty nose and hoppy, bitter taste. A nice one.

I enjoyed this one at kp’s cellar party. Clear dark amber with a fleeting white head. Grassy hop aroma with some underlying malt. Well balanced with a long bitter finish. Not bad at all.
