A unique IPA with a full body and high alcohol content. Due to dry-hopping, the aromas are intense. The high alcohol content is not overwhelming and gently blends into the flavor.

0.33 l bottle feom Beers and Books. Nice DIPA, well made but nothing extraordinary. The ABV is quite well hidden, not too heavy and easily drinkable.

Bottle kindly shared by Erik. Full body, assertive caramelly malt presence, a bit of boozy warmth too. Just enough bitterness to balance it out. Med-thin carbonation. Faint hops character, resiny zesty flavour, not much to go on about. Feels old. Average to be honest.

0.33 bottle. Sötét barnásvörös opálos szín, gyönyörű barnásfehér hab. Illata aszaltgyümölcsös, komlós, emellett picit karamellmaláta is érződik. Íze komplex. Az aszalt szilvás, barackos íz mellett lecsengésben finom komlós keserű íz. Az alkohol azért érződik, de inkább csak konyakos jegyekkel. Remek, pont jól szénsavas, nagyon összetett finom sör.
***
Dark brownish red opaque color with beautiful brownish white foam. It smells of dried fruit, hops, and also has a bit of caramel malt. The taste is complex. In addition to the prune and apricot taste, it has a delicate bitter taste of hops. Alcohol is felt, but rather only with cognac notes. Great, just well-carbonated, very complex fine beer.

On tap at Budapest Beer Festival, pours a cloudy bright amber orange with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out piney hops, some slight metallic notes, and biscuity malt. Flavour is quite bitter and a little metallic, with bitter piney hops, biscuity malt, and metallic notes. Bitter and metallic on the finish too, but it's not bad.
