On tap at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Pours an almost clear gold. Aroma and taste are very fresh - tropical fruits with some piny notes. Very good and suprisingly drinkable as for Double IPA.

Coppery color, white head with good retention. Aroma has notes of resins, pine, bitter orange peel. Flavor has a decent bitterness, mainly grapefruit and orange, good maltiness with slightly caramelish hints. Bittery and malty final.

On tap at BeerTemple Amsterdam. Clear amber pour with a fine-grained white head. Hop explosion in the aroma, with tropical fruits, citrus and honey. The taste follows the same notes, super fresh and balanced. Silky smooth texture with low carbonation and a hoppy honey aftertaste. --- Beer merged from original tick of The Big Fat 5 Double IPA on 08 Sep 2016 at 20:37 - Score:

Muddy dark red-brown beer under a huge brownish-greige head, very stable and leaving lace. Roasted, chocolate and moccha in the nose, not very expressive. Stout acidity, roasted & burnt. Quite a hint at maltsweetness in the background; black & sweet chocolate, caramel. Very slick, oozy, despite good carbonation. Alcoholheat, well bodied. I’m nonplussed by the "crème brulée" moniker on the blurb. Having had both the Emelisse as the Southern Tier, those were truly bottled crème brulée in flavour; this is much more stoutish.

(Draught at Craft & Draft, Amsterdam, 19 Feb 2016) Black colour with dense, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of chocolate, nuts and coffee. Malty, roasted taste with chocolate, coffee, cacao, roasted nuts and a balanced cacao bitterness. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Tasty and well made with a generous dose of roasted nuts. Nice one.
