Usually my brother is the one who adores the triple IPAs but this one was truly outstanding. Juicy, loads of pine, little bitterness and loads of fruit, while being superbly drinkable. Excellent.

After phases 4 and 5, now 6, a double IPA. Lovely hazy DIPA, full of fruity and juicy flavour. Intense pine with even a hint of bitterness. Lots of nectarine, mango, papaya, maybe a hint of coconut. Lovely stuff.

A very nice West coast IPA, with a pronounced but not overwhelming bitterness and lovely fruity and juicy New Zealand hops coming through. Nice maltiness, balanced and drinkable on a hot summer day like today.

Amazing smoothie sour, the Alphonso mango together with rh coconut and sticky rice create something that is greater than the sum of its parts. Excellent.

Bottle. Nice pour with a frothy tan head. Aroma is chocolate, cherries, rye whisky, prune and an abundance of dark malts. Full bodied with quite a thick mouthfeel. Flavour is big and boozy, malty with a medium sweetness. I don't really get the coconut sugar, but the vanilla is here more than in the aroma, along with lots of fruity notes, for me especially cherry, prune, raisin. The whisky lingers, and it gives a nice warmth. I'm rather partial towards pöhjala's imperial stouts, and anything they do that involves rye is especially up my alley, so this hits all the spots for me.

Bottle shared with my brother. An interesting impy - you get the dark malt character, but the brandy barrels quickly are rather dominant. Interesting stuff, definitely very tasty.

Interesting beer unlike almost anything I've had. Loads of vanilla, maple syrup and cinnamon. Yet almost no dark malts - really an ale with lots of spices and additions. Very tasty though.

Bottle shared with my brother. Beautiful wheat wine, loads of bourbon character, some spicy grain notes and dark roasted malts. Great.
