Draught Fully muddy yellow-ochre beer with fluffy off-white head. Citrusexplosion, clean fruity acids, lunaria, nectarine, New World hopmonster. Bitterish-fruity, more grapefruit, also nectarines, marmalade. Notes of sage and wormwood. Sharp, nearly astringent from the hopoils. Fully yeast-filled, feels better carbonated than it looks. Very nice. Not much in the matter of presentation, but what a hopbomb! 8/4/7/4/16

Tasting glass draft @ Gollem. Dark brown, black hue, small head. Nose is too harsh varnish, alcoholic medicinal glue, prune. Taste is less harsh, bourbon, sugar, vanilla, prune, candy, still too much harsh varnish alcoholic, really takes the beer down in my opinion, way too harsh, shame with less heat would be great.

9 4 9 5 18 Bottle shared At Murphy’s Law. Black with a big ring beige head. Aroma of rich dark chocolate and hazelnut with notes of vanilla. Really perfect in terms of the dark chocolate and nutty aroma. Flavour is light heavy sweet and moderate bitter. Full bodied with soft carbonation. Lovely stuff, very focussed but perfection at what it is.
