Bottled@Björntasting 2018. Black colour, small brown head. Aroma is roasted, some toffee, caramel and mild floral notes. Flavour is fruity, some floral, toffeeish and mild roasted notes as well. Nice level of the roast here, which actually for once suits in well.

From the bottle. Dark brown with a creamy, beige head. Aroma is toffee, roasted grains, rubber. Taste is bitter, full of roasted flavors, grains, nuts, caramel malt. Medium body. Far less floral/fruity than a typical bipa, this veers more in the direction of a traditional stout. Not bad in and of itself, but not what I expected.

Bottle shared at Paul’s thanks to wingman. Reddy brown coloured pour with a thin light tan head. Aroma pine needle, strawberry, brown malts, little earthy. Flavour is composed of charcoal, pine, berry hop, palate is medium light, moderate carbonation. Not much to it. Finish has some nutty earthy berry.
