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 @ home, courtesy of pepsiedcan. Thanks pepsicus! Pours a very murky, maroonish brown appearance with a small tan head that dissipates quite quickly. Fairly toasty, a touch burnt, big banana, rich phenol aroma. A bit buttery, tangy, rich banana, bubblegum, burnt toasty flavor with a chocolate covered banana aftertaste. Light carbonation and some booze. A little disappointing to me.

12 oz bottle from Pepsican. Nose is a hint of banana, toffee, chocolate, and very slight bubblegum. Clear rusty brown with a small beige head. Flavor is toffee, ripe banana, and light sugary caramel sweetness. Hidden in the finish is a slight bitterness. Actually an very good beer I would drink every day if needed..

12 oz bottle bonus from Pepsican and it’s my favorite style!!! Thanks Andy! Nose is rich ripe banana, caramel, light clovey spiciness, and browned marshmallowy sweetness. Absolutely murky lighter brown with a medium beige head. Flavor is peppery, bananas, wheaty bread, light yeast, sweetness and a tiny hint of alcohol warmth.

Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of Skyview. Comes as: "Millstream 25th Anniversary Dopplebock". Pours a cloudy brown with hardly any head (probably due to a loose cap, the bottle had leaked during shipping). Lovely aroma of pumpernickel and nuts. Solid body with a great malt base, pumpernickel, nuts and molasses. Carbonation is low. Hardly any bitterness. 290911
