This black beauty at 6.3% alc. is made with Nectaron hops from New Zealand. It has beautiful tropical notes of pineapple, passion fruit, and peach complimented by a creamy mildly malty body, perfect for the winter months ahead but also crushable any time of the year.

A deep dark brown ipa with a thin mocha head. In aroma, chocolate malt with dark fruits, resinous hops, dank notes, pleasant. In mouth, chocolate malt with light coffee, resinous hops, light mineral notes, a bit thin, pleasant.

Bottle sample @ Ostara beerfest - LaSource.
Une Black IPA qui surfe un peu avec un baltic porter.
Brune foncée, col léger blanc-cassé.
Arôme sur un malté chocolaté, noir, caramel - pas mald e fruité tropical avec une pointe de résine en support.
Palais reste assez marqué par une base de malt imposante - caramel, chocolaté avec une pointe de biscuité.
Petite note houblonnée avec un apport du Nectaron apportant une base tropicale et agrumes - sans pour cela me faire voyager vers une Black IPA classique de type west coast. Reste agréable surtout pour un style trop peu disponible.

Draught @ Biere a Lille 2025. Pours dark, tan head. Light hop hints on the nose, some coal. Flavour profile brings nice nectaron shades adding welcome lingering citrus to soft roast malt. Great BIPA in probably the coldest beer festival I've ever been to.
