Bottle at Chriso’s Pre-GBBF Shindig 2013. It pours cloudy pale gold with a small white head. The nose is earth, celery, apple, pear, dough and light vegetable notes. The taste is clean, crisp, dough, grapefruit, zesty orange, toast and light bitterness. Light-medium body and moderate carbonation. Tastes a lot better than it smells anyway! OK.

Bottled, thanks Bov! Pitch black, brief head. Aroma of citrus and licorice. Quite dry with soft, lightly spritzy mouthfeel and full body. Licorice, molasses and citrus. White pepper and honey in a finish with low bitterness.

Bottled (thanks Bov!). Black colour, small brown head. Aroma is liquorice, cough medicine, mild smoked notes, some burnt wet wood as well as some alcohol. Flavour is rather similar with some mild metallic notes. Also gives a huge alcoholic burn in the finish.

Hopfiger, schnell abflachender Antrunk. Der Mittelteil ist so etwas schwach, dann kommen aber geringe Fruchtnoten auf, die das Bier zwar nicht sonderlich intensiver, dafür aber deutlich interessanter machen. Ein leichter Resthopfen ist noch da, dazu eine süß-saure Mischung. Interessant! 8/9/9/8/7/9

Aromatisch hopfiger Antrunk, stark, süßlich, ziemlich blumig. Im Mittelteil wird der Hopfen noch intensiver, erstaunlich gering ist bisher die Bitterkeit. Dass diese aber nicht ausbleiben kann ist angesichts des Hopfens klar, so wird das Bier zum Abgang hin deutlich bitter, was der Hopfen aber gut kaschieren kann. Weiterhin intensiv, zwischenzeitlich deutlich nach Zitrusfrüchten. Hell holzig, wärmend, vollmundig. Der lange Nachgeschmack bietet neben dem intensiven aber weichen Hopfen noch eine intensive Bitterkeit. Rundum gelungenes IPA! 9/12/12/13/12/13

Black color; medium sized head, brownish. Strange aroma, strong soap for washing machines, then also some ammonia and roasted malts; later, the weirdness leaves, and there is a more comforting aroma of roasted malt. The mouthfeel is quite smooth; there is a very good flavor of roasted malt, some coffee, dark caramel, light liquorice, all very well blended together, and even an impression of vanilla and oak. Correct bitterness. Excellent.

Best before 2010-07-02, tasted one week before the bbd
Cloudy dark amber color; generous head, compact. Very nice aroma, and very strong; hoppy, fruity, with light resins, cheese and yeast; there is a creamy impression, probably the bottle is not very fresh. Good body strength; strong caramel and malt flavor, sweet; strong bitterness, partially resiny and fruity, in the end also a bit dusty. The final is powerful, very long, and sweet too, with traces of yeast.
It makes me crave for a fresh bottle...
There are lots of similar examples in America, but in Switzerland this hop bomb (I’m not randomly choosing the words) is quite unique, still.
