330 ml bottle into tulip glass, best before 7/1/2016. Pours hazy/cloudy orange/amber color with a small dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, mango, lemon zest, orange peel, citrus rind, pepper, pine, honey, light caramel, spicy rye bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/tropical/piney hops and moderate bready malt notes; with good strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, mango, lemon zest, orange peel, citrus rind, pepper, pine, honey, light caramel, spicy rye bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Large amount of piney/spicy/citrus rind bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, mango, lemon/orange peel, citrus rind, pepper, pine, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical/piney hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with a good malt/bitterness balance and no hop astringency after the finish. Good amount of dryness after the finish from high bitterness. Light-medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a very smooth, sticky/resinous, and lightly creamy mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a slight warmth lingering after the finish. Overall this is an excellent rye DIPA style. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical/piney hops and moderate bready malt flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering.

330 ml bottle. Pours amber with lightish head. Aromas of bright tropical fruit, limes, toffee, and sweet malts. Flavors limes, bitter citrus peel, a little grass, and toasted malts. Nice and clean. Long bitter finish. Great stuff for the ABV - very sessionable. Another please...

330 ml bottle. Pours black with a full creamy tan head. Aromas of vanilla, , roasted malt, light coconut and and creamed coffee. Flavors of dry roasted malt, ash/chalk, black coffee, dark bittersweet chocolate, and vanilla extract. Wow. A Porter? I don’t think so. An imperial Dry Stout - maybe.

330 ml bottle. Pours a dark reddish brown with moderate head. Aromas of sweet dark fruit, toffee/brown sugar, and dark toasted malts. Flavors follow same sweet and smooth with only a hint of the ABV. Excellent for drinking now, but worth putting down a few to see what happens to the sweetness. small bottle though...
