I bought a bomber of Three Floyds (Munster, IN) Arctic Panzer Wolf. I've had the beer at Chumleys, and it is good. Another reason for the bomber was the fact that the label is epic. It'll definitely go on the cool wall in my house.
No ABV listed on the bottle, but I recall it being around 9%. The smell is a bit confused. Lots of hops, but it's conflicted as to the piney hops with a touch of citrus...just a touch. It smells a little like Hopslam actually...promising.
Color is quite pale for a DIPA. It's a touch darker than what I'd call "straw colored," but not by much at all. Mouthfeel is also a touch lighter than expected.
The flavor seems actually deeper in the bottle than on tap. Much more maltiness there, finally balancing out what seemed to be a poorly balanced beer on tap. The hops do definitely dominate the middle and end of the flavor. It is quite good. I do still prefer dreadnaught (Three Floyds other DIPA) by a significant margin.
