very very hoppy, i swear when i smell and sip it, if it was a blind tasting it would guess it was a barley wine. very very hoppy. i’m not getting any coffee or chocolate i would expect from an impy stout. Still it’s very nice, but quite odd with the massive amount of hops.

nice red amber color, very very small head, nice lacing, and retention. aroma is lots of floral hops, and some really nice caramel and ripe fruit. flavor is very much hops, and caramel, very mellow, but strong at the same time. quite bitter in the end, alcohol is present, but not too much, very nice barley wine.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso va sul luppolo. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e la continuità olfattiva è apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma ha una buona tenuta ed è voluminosa. La grandezza delle bollicine a grana medio-fine. La carbonazione è eccessiva. L'aspetto del liquido è velato. La frizzantezza si manifesta sotto forma di bollicine medie e anche qui la carbonazione è eccessiva, e frizzante. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è contenuto. L'intensità gustativa è normale e la costanza gustativa è sufficiente per una birra parecchio gassata. Le sensazioni boccali finali sono di pronta beva. Il finale è dissetante e semplice. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. Sulla lingua si depositano impressioni di miele e frutta secca.

Can at home. Aroma is biscuity malt, soft stone fruits, peach, buttery notes, caramel, toffee, mild hops. Flavour is light sweet and moderate bitter. Body is medium. Maltier than I expected with some buttery notes.

From tap at Barcade, New York. Big rye malt aroma with caramel, dried red fruits, rye spiciness, nutty notes. Moderate to medium sweet flavour with a light to moderate bitterness. Above medium body, surprising. Sweet and rich rye beer, liquid bread indeed.

T: Wood and herbs with a good dose of pine. Light catty notes at the end.
M: Medium body, soft carbonation and a smooth, slightly oily finish.
O: Nice to see a new IPA from Victory but not a regular sipper.

Hazy yellow-orange with a two-finger finger head. Aroma is citrus and a tad odd funk. Taste was the same. Not a very good IPA.
