Tap at Le Senk. Aroma fruity, resiny, cascadian. Light roasted. Clear very dark colour. Rather stable head. Taste is very hopforward, I instinctively licked my lip in search of a stray hop leaf in my mouth initially. Brutal flavour kick, bitterness is high, but palatable. Alcohol content is higher, but it does not show. Fruity, resiny, grassy hoppy flavours, seem American. The roastiness is almost completely hidden, I am not sure if I could identify it blindly through all the hops. Overall very nicely executed cascadian dark ale.

On tap at Mikkeller Bar Stockholm. Black with a small tan head. Aroma and taste of light roasted malt, chocolate, hops, grapefruit and some coffee. The body was medium and the finish quite bitter. A good one.

Brewdog Camden. Keg. Almost opaque dark brown beer, tidy pale tan head. Palate is smooth with good fine carbonation. Smooth dark malts. Touch of dark chocolate. Mild dark malt cream. Good piney hops underpinned by light orange citrus and a little sweet tropical fruits. Finishes with a mild carbonated sting. Smooth and very drinkable.

Keg at Brewdog Birmingham; dark brown pour with a creamy tan head, pine and roast malt aroma, taste the roasted malt and coffee hit you driest with that fresh pine hop coming through, also has a hint of chocolate.

Draft. A black beer with a huge tan head. The aroma has notes of hops, citrus fruits, and chocolate. The flavor is sweet with notes of chocolate, roasted malt, alcohol, hops, and citrus fruits, leading to a bitter finish.
