32 oz. growler poured into a snifter.
Appearance - Amber body. Big off-white head. Good retention.
Smell - Lots of caramel malts. Some grapefruit hops. Smells very sweet.
Taste - Grapefruit hops. Huge caramel sweetness. Amber malts and toffee sugars. Bitterness builds into the finish, which cuts the sweetness a little bit.
Mouthfeel - Heavy for an IPA. Almost a creamy mouthfeel. Medium carbonation.
Overall - Way too sweet for me. Big, malty DIPA. Not my thing.

Nose is dank, floral with light fruity notes (tropical?)
Palate is extremely bitter with floral and pine flavours and very light citrus notes coming though. A fairly big caramel sweetness adds balance but the bitterness is massive and lingers considerably in the finish. A little more sweetness than I like in my DIPAs.
