Really hoppy and bitter, with a punch from the alcohol that accentuated the funkiness of the beer. Sweeter towards the finish. Piney, fruity and flowery.

Draught @ BA Folkis. Sweet and quite heavy on the malts. Has a "red" hop profile with heavy berry notes. Unpleasant burned bitterness. Creamy mouthfeel. A bit overworked.

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 NachlamSie (3031) - Denver, Colorado, USA - OCT 5, 2015
Bomber, a rad gift. This is a very dark, rich red with a clear body and well formed head. The aroma is dank indeed. Herb and grapefruit come through with oniony character as the beer warms. Alcohol is well masked. Plenty of hop bite cuts through the hefty malt body in the flavor. Notes of chocolate, biscuit, onion, grapefruit, pine and more make up the complex profile. I really enjoyed this one.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20 Nephilium (1556) - Ohio, USA - OCT 4, 2015
Big caramel and pine aroma, pours a clear reddish-amber with a full white head. Caramel notes come forward at the beginning of the beer, which then is quickly overpowered by the hops. Pine and tropical fruit notes come forward with a long lingering bitterness. Slightly slick mouthfeel, with a big luscious fullness to it. A very solid imperial red.
