440ml can. Opaque, darkest brown colour with minimally late awakening, average, frothy, slowly diminishing, minimally lacing, beige head. Roasty, chocolately, dark malty and citrusy fruity, hoppy aroma, hints of coffee, cocoa, orange, mandarine, lemon, liquorice overtones. Taste is citrusy fruity and zesty bitter hoppy, mildly roasty and chocolately, dark malty basis, hints of cocoa, instant coffee, lemon, orange, mild coffee and hoppy bitterness, weak, citrusy tartness; a touch of liquorice in the finish, well hidden alcohol.
Oily-watery texture, smooth and soft, simultaneously minimally dry palate, fine, dense, soft, mildly prickly carbonation.
Relatively simple, seemingly light - acceptable.

0.44 l can from 'SpeciaalBierPakket.nl'. Slightly hazy, very dark ruby to black with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, beige head. Sweetish, rather fruity-floral, slightly dank and a little roasty aroma of passion fruit, pineapple, mango and light coffee. Quite sweet, malty, gently bitter, slightly roasty, rather fruity-floral and a bit dank taste of passion fruit, mango, pineapple, some coffee and dark chocolate, followed by a medium long, gently roasty-bitter finish. Medium to full body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Really decent brew, quite intense, very much on the hoppy rather than the roasty side (apart from the finish).

From tap at Rock City, Amersfoort. Not what I expect from a 9% Black IPA. Thin, only mild roast, some fruity hoppy notes, orange. Lacks thick roast and piney hop.
