Really good. Definitely smoothed out after 9 months. The bourbon was more apparent than when fresh. Even got some chocolaty flavors in the background. Kind of a cherry cordial. Doesn't scratch a particular itch and that's a long time to wait for something that doesn't blow you away but it's not not worth it.

Holds up well after 3 years. Maybe better around 1.5 to 2.

Kind of like a Belgian Strong Ale, candy sugar sweetness but with more malty depth. Some Dried fruit sweetness, as well. Carbonation is superb, incredibly delicate bubbles that give a velvety feel. It's probably not brewed to taste like this but by sheer coincidence is excellent as it ages.

I need to try this one fresh because I really like it with some age on it. Would be interesting (and expensive) to compare.

I've never regretted buying a Pipeworks IPA. This isn't among my favorite IPAs but it's still really delicious. All the Ninjas are going to be fresh, too.

Dank and resinous. So bold and fresh, but not my favorite. Strong floral aromas not much citrus.

I didn't get pineapple this time but still a delightfully refreshing IPA. Not a palate wrecker like the Fish series.

Pineapple, pineapple, pineapple! Straw colored, sweet smell, juicy pineapple flavor. Glad I have two.

So balanced. Reminds me a lot of Avery's Maharaja, though not quite as much of a hop bomb. Very balanced, not particularly bitter. Lost of dregs in the last pour of the 750.

Not nearly as bitter when drunk from my IPA glass. Amazing how much that changes the flavor. Not sure how they bill this as a Pale Ale instead of an IPA, though.

Cinnamon and chocolate at cellar temp, not as smooth as I'd like, has a bit of a bite but very tasty. Bourbon rounded out the edges with some booze and really present in the aroma. I forgot this hat coffee in it until it warmed up and the coffee bitterness came out.

Smells like hot chocolate at cellar temp. Vanilla and cinnamon come through as it warms.

Unexpectedly thin mouthfeel. Tastes like ice cream at about 50 degrees. Changes tremendously as it warms. Cinnamon really comes to the fore. Not a strong bourbon presence and the coffee is pretty subtle, other than giving some bitterness at the end.
