Medium to heavy sweet flavor with further chocolate character, dates, meaty fruits, toffee. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly warming on the finish, with rich dark malts, cocoa, ripe dark fruits. Heavy duty, to be sure, but pretty good overall.

330ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, reddish golden to amber colour with average to huge, thick, frothy to creamy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Citrusy fruity, hoppy aroma, notes of lemon, grapefruit, some lemon zest, a sugary touch. Taste is initially crisp bitter hoppy with citrusy fruity hints of grapefruit and lemon, later the fruitiness fades a- and gives way to more and more papery, grassy and chalky notes; refreshing, lively carbonation. Nice IPA with rather typical Session IPAic collapse of fruitiness in the finish.
