Du Brabant Plato's Chariot

Huge yellow, rather big-bubbled head, with lace over faintly veiled light-copper beer. Sweetish, caramel, and hops in the background at first, later more dry, bit of paint, unripe fruit, dry hopbales. Very bitter, resiny hops’ flavour, not fruity at all. Bananapeel, unripe banana. Also toasted, fiery, alcohol. Gets more and more bitter and wry in time, nearly pharmaceutical. Astringent, hopoil-dominated; good carbonation. What hops? Too crude, agressive flavours, misses fruitiness (compared to the WestCoast IIPA’s). Too much indifferent bitterness.
