Draught at Foeders in Amsterdam. Creamy, pale beige, densely structured, regularly shaped head over a near-black beer with clear burgundy tinge. Aroma of mandarin peel, black toast, toffee, orange, jasmin blossoms, liquorice and a buttery note of diacetyl. Restrainedly sweet onset, dried fig, raisins, 'drop'-like aspect, medium carbonated, supple and oily mouthfeel. Smooth nutty and toasty malt body, mildly bitterish but sweetish as well, supporting an aromatically "new" hoppy finish, lots of grapefruit flesh and orange peel, piney as well, depositing a drying, spicy bitterness on the root of the tongue. Your standard modern black IPA, with enough emphasis on the hoppiness of it, contrary to many other European attempts at this style - have an extra point for that, and for still making one, now that this style in its country of origin is in a steady decline due to that 'fruit juice' NEIPA craze.
