Bottle, thanks Tim. Aroma is cat pee, sharp citrus. Taste is more malty, bit of caramel sweetness, but with bitterness at the end.

Bottle, thanks Tim E. Nice, fruity, orange and tropical. Nice. Good stuff. Near the end of the tasting so notes are limited.

Bottle. Thanks Tim. Aroma is roasty, soy sauce, a bit tart. Fruity. Taste is good, chocolatey, roast, only coconut hint, cola, high carb. Interesting.

Super deep and incredibly hazy ruby, deep earthy brown and glowing amber coloured body with a super hazy glow alongside a thick and luscious, long-lasting three to five centimetre tall tan head that stays afloat for quite a long time. Aroma of alcohol, chocolate, nuts, specialty grains (rye?), grain, resin and a heavy dose of bitterness coupled with caster sugar and some light fructose. Medium to Full-bodied; Super rich and intensely powerful chocolate and grainy flavours that definitely favour that side of the palate with no real complexity or coverage from the other styles - this is intensely alcoholic and very bitter throughout with no real changing the 'feel' from a review or two. Aftertaste relatively clean, but the bitterness from the alcohol, malt, resin, metal and pungent hops are quite strong throughout. Overall, an enjoyable beer, and despite the pain to carry this back home and wait a full year to crack this open - well worth the effort. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Kahalui, Maui, Hawai'i on 03-January-2016 for US$9,99, sampled at home, having the island of Hawai`i been the last island I visited, sampling this beer at home in Washington on 05-April-2019.
