330ml bottle into pint. Over-active head doesn’t stop and spills precious beer on floor. Dies down to foamy tan-coloured head on black beer. Nose is cocoa and sweet chocolate. Flat mouthfeel followed by dry cocoa and coffee. Later you can taste raisins, toast and alcohol. A bit harsh for my tastes but by no means bad.

From a 330ml bottle on 8/9/2016. Pours a deep golden with a small head. The aroma is a combination of caramel and biscuit malt with some fruity hops. Taste wise, there more caramel and biscuit and some citrussy sweetness. The hops are pretty firm and feature a bit of pine and resin. The body is fullish and the carbonation moderate. Pretty good.

Bottle. Label suggests this was brewed and/or bottled at Kaiju in Dandenong, Vic., C1700 km away from BrisVegas. Odd. Almost black, modest light tan head. Biscuity aroma with cantaloupe, nectarine, some pine, soy sauce - smells better than that reads, but it’s unusual. A bit Kooinda BIPA. Lightish bodied. Dominated by fruity hops and with little roast behind. Tropical and stone fruit but most of all melons. And really the malt side of things doesn’t much get in the way as we go towards the strongly bitter finish. Not what I expected at all but good.

Pours hazy copper with a large lasting head.Nose shows heavy resinous hops, some pine and grapefruit, a bit of sweet malt.Intense flavours, lots of pine and resinous hops, very powerful. Lots of malt to balance as well, very full on. A bit of booze in the finish. Quite an ordeal.

A ripping IPA with fat biscuity, caramelly malt and loads of resinous pine hops. Great palate, good length. What’s not to love?
