Served in a snifter, it pours a golden, diaphanous orange, with a massive white foamy head that dissipates at a nice pace and leaves a persistent 1 cm layer.
The lacing in this beer is beautiful.
Smell is really peculiar, tart, citrus and orange with mild hints of spices, not your typical IPA's aromas.
Taste follows the nose very accurately, but it adds up an aggressive leathery flavor. That leathery aroma also becomes present in the nose once the beer starts warming up just a bit.
For the 95 IBU that this beer holds, the bitterness is very present but not overwhelming, as it has a nice balance with a malty sweetness right at the end. Its high 9.3 ABV is very well disguised, not present. Medium + body.
The problem with this beer is that it does not have a bottling date or best by date, so the tartness may very well be an off flavor and aroma, or who knows, it may be the brewers inexpertise on the style, given the fact that they are a very new brewery.
Unfortunately, the leathery flavor simply doesn't fit in in any way.
I know you are not supposed to review bad bottles, but I think this brewery had it coming when they didn't put any date on an Imperial IPA.
