Original review text: 50cl bottle. Hazy amber-orange with a thin off-white head. Notes of onions, caramelized onions, oranges, overripe apples, citrus, floral hops, white grapes, caramel, grassy hops. Medium body and carbonation. An interesting experiment, but not my favourite hop selection.

Full body, smooth mouthfeel, bitter-sweet finish. An excellent English barleywine.

Not your usual black IPA.

--- Beer merged from original tick of Shock Therapy v1 Rakau & Waimea on 05 Apr 2017 at 09:42 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 8. Original review text: 50cl bottle. Dark orange pour, hazy, with a tall off-white head. Notes of caramel, caramelized onions, oranges, lemon zest, pine resin, malt sugars, oats, light hip spicy notes. The bottle is a bit old and the hops have faded, but the smooth texture, bitter-sweet body and nice hop notes make this feel like a nice west-coast malty IPA/DIPA. Not bad!

Tonka is life! --- Beer merged from original tick of Tonka Rush on 04 Apr 2017 at 08:42 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 8. Original review text: 33cl bottle at Viniloteca. Very dark brown pour with a tall, short-lasting tan head. Notes of chocolate, toasted coconut, roasted coffee beans, vanilla, more coffee, more vanilla, marshmallows, green grass, molasses, light licorice. Damn good, there’s definitely tonka in there, quite similar flavour profile to Lervig’s 3 Bean stout, but not as chiseled.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Max’s place. Thanks Shmupi. Hazy deep golden. Malt, caramel, somewhat vegetal, slightly stale fruity hops, sweet, bitterish finish. Not so good.
