Bottle from GBBF 2011. It pours hazy deep orange-gold, with a thick white head. The nose is orange citrus fruits (particularly mango), pine, orange sherbet and creamy. The taste is sweet orange, zesty tangerine, tangy marmalade, sherbet, resin, pine, big bitterness, leather, oily hop, spice and light alcohol warmth, with a tangy citrus-dry finish. Medium body, moderate carbonation and foamy mouth-feel. A well balanced, high drinkable, zesty double IPA.

Bottle, 13C. Pours black with a tan head that fades to a nice coat but lasts and laces extravagantly. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malt, plums, grass, dark rum. Very luscious mouthfeel. Taste is very chocolatey with rum, dark fruits, pine, aniseed or licorice. Really quite boozy, but the flavours of the normal version have melded a bit and the wood at the end helps to downplay the sweetness too. The pine and alcohol are a bit much now, but perhaps they’ll settle down. Unlike the normal version, liked it better as it warmed.
