UPDATED: MAR 13, 2021 (Bottle) Dark amber colour, slightly hazy, with frothy tan head. Malty, hoppy nose with caramel, treacle-toffee, resin, orange peel, pink grapefruit and lots of hops. Malty, hoppy taste with notes of caramel, treacle-toffee, resin, grapefruit, rye bread, a touch of liquorice and a generous resiny, citric bitterness in the finish. Full body, with a certain sweetness. A bit unbalanced and aggressive, but really tasty with a solid hop presence. Very nice.

UPDATED: MAY 11, 2020 2015 edition, still delivering a bitter drying finish after 64 months in my 64th year. A gusher and lots of up front foam. Fun stuff added on its solid BW base.

Keg at BrewDog Shepherds Bush in 2016. Amber colour with an offwhite head. Aroma of grassy hop, caramel, burnt sugar and some vanilla. Tinned fruit, chewy malt and resinous hop bitterness in the flavour. Great lingering notes.

UPDATED: JAN 11, 2019 nice deep amber-reddish color; great caramel malt aroma with toffee and mollasses notes; rich caramel malt flavor with mollasses notes some piney hop notes; the hops nicely counterbalance the sweetness of the malt; rich, complex flavor; lingering mollasses notes in the finish

Bottle. It poured an amber color with an off-white head. The aroma was of caramel, malts, some hops, dried fruits, bread and toffee. The taste was similar to the aroma with more caramel, malts, hops, dried fruits, bread, toffee, alcohol with medium carbonation and a nice dry aftertaste. Good stuff.

22 oz bottle 2015 vintage. After three years it’s pretty in your face. Malt forward and has swimming hops. Quite sweet with some brown sugar and aged hops. Alcohol is really there.

Bottle, thank you Tim for this! Pours light brown, not really foamy at all, some beige foam still there. Nose is sweetish, caramelly, some oxidisation and old but still potent hops. Taste has good bitterness, nicely mellowed, light smoke there also, malty and sturdy base. Mellowed together nicely, has aged quite well. Good stuff.

bottle, old rating - Pours deep amber with a small head. It smells of caramel malt, resin, alcohol, and dark fruit. The intense flavor has strong resinous hops backed by a big malty profile. Alcohol is noticeable but pretty overwhelmed by the other flavors. Full bodied. Excellent beer.

Vom Fass (Version 2015) Stone Brewing Berlin im 2016-07 getrunken. Bei den Worten "Extra Hoppy" hatte ich schon etwas bedenken, ob mir das schmeckt. Doch die Hopfenbitterkeit hielt sich gut in Grenzen und die schönen Sauerteignoten mit sogar einer ganz feinen Süße kamen durch.

Bottle from Systembolaget, 2015 vintage . Pours dark amber with a nice creamy beige head. Grass, burnt caramel, hints of vanilla, dark fudge. Slightly bitter finish with more burnt caramel and vanilla. A little bit rough but that feels like a good thing here. Nice!
