65 cl bottle @ home, no BBE info found
Aroma is somewhat stale with hops, nettles, grass and some glue. Flavour has biscuits, hops, some caramel and glue. Hoppy, grassy finish. The hops are nice, but the glue is not.

Medium, slightly irregular, foxy cream-to-tan head over black beer. Intense roasted aroma, chocolate biscuits, cigarette ashes, coffee dregs. Outspoken burnt/roasted flavour, with an intense spirit-like finish. Finish has further a hint at peperkoek sweetness, and liquorice retronasal. Sharp, burning MF, alcohol strenghtening. Warming up, first a peppery impression, later serious hints at coriander. All subtlety carefully avoided. Go for the brutal punch!

650ml bottle. Hazy orangey golden colour with huge creamy lasting and lacing white head. Intense hop aroma with herbal/grassy and grapefruit notes and zest bitterness. Taste brims over with dry hoppiness the sweet malt part barely can bear up. In the course the dryness is completely gone for a short moment, giving way a fresh citrus note, until a lasting bitter finish comes in. From all those 100+ IBU Double IPAs flattering the drinker for his being hard enough to suffer such a hop bomb, but which are more often than not just fruity and drinkable and sometimes simply fantastic stuff, this one is really a challenge due to its bitterness; ----- not the worst challenge, natch.
