Bottle from Slowbeer. Reviewed from notes.

Blood orange, hazy, with a modest head that falls over a minute or so to a film.

Candied muscovado sugar, dried apricots and some almost nice fruity hop notes, but with a plasticy element attached to them. Mild booze.

The booze and plastic muscle in hard, if not quite to the extent of rendering it undrinkable.

Hot and harsh.

Not one of Moondog's best.

From Beer Cartel. No BB. Jeez I get fed up of typing that.

I like Moon Dog. I really do. But when they push the envelope and take risks, then sometimes it's gonna fall flat, and sometimes really really flat.

Choc malt??

Hm.... It looks ok, filmy not sudsy head, light amber body.

But there is nothing save malt on the nose, and that really bitter non-entity of a taste that I presume is the choc malt. Hope are bitter and earthy but in a bad way. Body is OK with reasonable carbonation for style,

But all in all, it just doesn't taste very nice. Do I need to say more?

Hazy amber colour. Nice foamy white head. Half-decent head retention.

Very sweet malt with quite a fruitiness. Almost sweaty like in the house Belgian yeast these guys like to use. Quite interesting but also out of place.

The flavour continues the interesting fruity hop profile. Lots of sweaty NZ hops along with a sweet malt profile that suggests Belgian flavour rather than Imperial Pilsner.

Medium body with moderately-high carbonation.

I'm not entirely convinced this works. They have tried hard to deliver something original but it falls back to a house flavour that isn't all that pleasant. I wish this were less sweet and used some hops that are a bit cleaner and fresher.

Unusual take on a imperial pils. Has a nose that I thought was belgian yeast (from their other beers), but must be the odd mix of hops. Bit of a smokey edge on the palate, must be from the pinch of choc malt. Fairly easy drinking, big alcohol hidden well, but im not sold on it. Not clean enough, too muddled.

Pours a hazy golden copper hue with a creamy three finger head and lacing everywhere,the smell is boiled candy,guava,blood oranges,berries and off milk,the mouthfeel is creamy and over medium bodied with moderate carbonation and has tastes of bitter blood oranges,guava,berries,a touch of toffee,sherbet and finished with a fruity citrus hop bitterness which is very bitter and overall i like it and suprisingly the chocolate malt in this works would drink again cheers.

Pours deep amber with a fading head.
Nose shows big fruity hops, lots of pear, peach and floral notes. Also some sweet caramel and crystal malt.
A fair bit of malt in the flavours too, along with lots of fruity and piny hops and an aggressive finish of alcohol and bitterness.
Could use more carbonation. Body feels overly thick.
A bit too boozy.
