Bottle thanks to Niall / Leighton. It pours cloudy orange with a decent white head. The nose sticky, orange, marmalade, lemon poppy seed muffin, sherbet, juicy, apricot jam and peach. The taste is bitter-sweet, juicy, earth, peach, apricot, jammy, wood, booze, muffin, pine, resin and straw with a dry, warming finish. Medium+ body and fine, prickly carbonation. Punchy stuff. Hefty, but nice.

Bottle from Cornelius. Hazy orange body with a medium white head that holds well. Steady carbonation. Great lacing. Aroma of mango, honey, orange and earth. Flavour of creamy malt, boozy apricot and a light peppery finish. Good bitterness. Medium body with an oily mouthfeel. Soft fizz. A lovely beer - not as hop dominated as other DIPAs, but it’s well rounded and very drinkable for the strength.

On cask @ the Guildford Arms. Appearance - opaque black with a lovely fawn crema head. Nose - fresh coffee over chocolate and cream. Taste - more well integrated coffee and chocolate notes and again softened by the creamy backbone. Palate - medium to full bodied with a creamy texture and a balanced dry finish. Overall - yes, lovely.
