Bottle at home, köszi Tomi! Jet black, thin head. Nose is chocolate, cocoa powder, some bitterness. In taste the same notes appear with cocoa-ish, slightly bitter finish. Light body, soft carbo. More like a bitter stout than a black IPA.

Bottle shared in London - many thanks to Colin. Pours clear brown with a big, foamy khaki head. So so, a little dusty earth, ash, coffee grounds, burnt wood. Light bodied with lively carbonation. Dry finish, some ash, cocoa, burnt pine. So so.

330ml bottle, thanks to djoeye for sharing. Black in the glass, bubbly beige head, spotty lacing. Promising aroma of roasted grainy malts with hints of dark chocolate. Roasted grain-fruity flavours, citrus and chocolate malts. Malt-fruity tail with roasted coffee bitterness. Fine bodied. Likable. (Session with Finn and djoeye, Pivoteka H7, Tromsø 23.08.2019).

From the bottle. Dark brown with a tall, frothy beige head that lingers. Aroma of spruce, coffee, roasted grains. Taste is mildly bitter, chalky, makes you thirsty. Body is medium, clingy, oily. Carbonation is moderate. Okay but not quite there.
