Bottle (9.6% ABV) from House Of Trembling Madness. Black body with a thick tan head. No visible carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of vanilla, espresso, red wine, soy sauce and dark chocolate. Flavour of pine, raisins, coffee and toffee. Medium to full body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. This is truly stunning.

Can from Great Grog. Hazy deep golden body with a thick off-white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of papery malt, black pepper and orange pith. Flavour follows the aroma - peppery and orangey. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Light fizz. This is rough around the edges but quite enjoyable. It’s not really a west coast IPA at all.
gave a cheers!

Thin body with a slick texture. Light fizz. This is tasty and less fiery/intense than the orange version (which I also liked).

Flavour of malt sweetness, black pepper and a whack of bittering hops. Medium to full body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. A hoppy, peppery barley wine. I’m glad I bought a couple more bottles.

Can from House Of Trembling Madness. Hazy golden body with a white head. No visible carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of kiwi, mango, dragonfruit and bubblegum. Flavour of mandarin and floral hops. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. This is up there with Verdant’s finest IPAs. Nelson Sauvin with Nectaron is such a good hop combo.
