Bottle thanks to Bruce. Pours a cloudy orange with medium frothy head that lasts. The aroma is strong hop, lemon zest, oak, funk. Thin mouthfeel with nice light citrus hop and light sourness. Easy to drink, really enjoyed this.

Bottle pours with a murky mahogany colored body that supports a tan head. The aroma offers up soft vinegar, sweet malts, some sort of cherry fruitiness and then coffee notes banging around in the background. The taste is similar with malty tart vinegar mixed with funky notes and then more vinegar taking hold to midway. Like in the nose I get some coffee notes murmuring about in the background. There is no sense at all of the huge ABV here.

Bottle pours with an amber colored body that supports a tan head. The aroma offers up some dark roasted malts, funky bigness that has an edge of fungus blue cheese, bad feet and vinegar. The taste starts with malt sweetness, some malty sweet soft vinegar and then a fruity apricot note. Not bad and I can’t see how this is any higher than say 7% ABV. Alcohol very well hidden, wow.
