X74 - SKA Decadent Imperial IPA (USA)

A deep, concentrated, massive nose with lots of sweet peaches and pears, sugared water, hay and chocolate covered orange peels. Very deep, very sweet and very, very good. Intense and complex.

The taste is big and beautiful with notes of sweet orange peels, peaches, lime and yellow pears. Long, long finish. An intense bitterness that matches the sweetness. Layer upon layer of sweet, decadent (!) fruit. The 10% alcohol is not even noticable. This is great!
