Miellyttävän raikas Black IPA, jossa mallaspedin suklaisuutta ja rouheaa paahteisuutta leikkaa topakka katkero. Dominantin greippinen makumaailma pitää kokonaisuuden raikkaana. Sitä tukee intensiivinen yrttisyys, joka kaartuu hiukan minttuisen puolelle. Black IPA jota pystyy juomaan useamman! Humalina Mosaic, Chinook, Centennial, Styrian Wolf.

Dark brown colour, creamy steady beige head. Toasted, a bit fruity aroma. Medium-bodied. Grapefruit hoppy with licorice flavour. Maybe pine, malts too. Grapefruit-roast combo (without sweetier tropical fruits) is nice CDA flavour palette.

(Can, 0.44l, from the brewery, 20260116) The beer poured hazy and almost black. Its head was medium sized and lightly ivory. Aroma had burnt malts, pine, citrus fruits and liquorice. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were pine, burnt malts, liquorice, citrus fruits and bitterness. Aftertaste had burnt malts, pine and bitterness. A tasty burnt brew with sharp hop notes.

44cl can from K-Citymarket, Espoo. Pours close to black with a decent, tanned head. Hoppy and roasty with pine, citrus, roasted malt, licorice and dark, dried fruits. Moderate sweet with rather high flavour intensity and ditto bittenerness. Decent BIPA.

Smooth, slightly fruity and roasty with some herbal grassy hops, pine, citrus, ash, cold coffee and hints of lingering dry bitterness. A bit unbalanced but still pretty good

On tap at Olarin, pours a dark reddish brown with a small beige head. Aroma has plenty of toasted malt, some gentle roast, and earthy hops. Flavour has light roasted malt, piney hops, and some earthiness. Balanced, finishing bitter and roasted. Good.
