Evil Twin Brewing / Monkish Brewing Co. Even More Foggier Window – American Double / Imperial IPA at 9.16% ABV (C$12.85 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 23-Apr-2024, acquired 23-Jun-2026, reviewed 28-Jun-2026)
Appearance: hazy and particulate-laden medium amber with two fingers of fluffy tan head diminishing gradually to a persistent cap, heavy soapy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: stone fruit, melon, citrus, sweet malt, hint of dank resin. (8/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, moderate-high bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium-full creamy body, moderate-soft carbonation, sweetish warming finish. (4/5)
I knew I shouldn’t have bought this, and no, I don’t know why I didn’t see the date code beforehand. (Edit: now I remember – I picked up the other Evil Twin collab at the same time and its date code was smeared, so I didn’t even bother to look at this one’s.) Yes, it’s a TIPA, so the high ABV should protect it to some degree, but I’m assuming (hoping?) that this doesn’t look, smell, or taste anything like it was intended to fresh. It’s not terrible, but it seems a bit malt forward. I’m pretty sure I would have liked it more when it was fresh. (15/20)
This will be my 6438th unique Untappd check-in.
