It’s an Imperial version of our Wild Raven, comprising a great body of dark malt complimented with hugely flavoured New Zealand and American hops, this beer is incredibly smooth. It’s a limited one so keep your eyes peeled!

Draft glass @ Bar Dynamo. Dark brown going to black, tanned head; nose is thick mocha, caramel, thick chewy malts & some low grapefruit hops. Taste is rich mocha with pine, cereal, there is some low cheese & pine hops, the main game here is the thick & chewy malt, very low roast malts, dark fruits, faint dark fruit syrup; very creamy body. Very nice, I remember preferring & loving (aka one of my absolute favorite BIPA’s so far) Wild Raven a bit more (I assume that this one is the imperial version), the hops were bigger, more to my liking. That is nitpicking, malt is great here, hops are complimentary (a tad more might be better for me), the whole drinks very well.
