330ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, brownish darkest red colour with huge, creamy, fully lasting, moderately lacing, ochre-ish, beige head. Spicy grassy, piney, hoppy aroma, a floral touch, hints of orange-flavoured dark chocolate. Taste has a dry, roasty dark malty basis, a thick, citrusy fruity layer with notes of orange above, piney and minimally floral hoppy overtones above, a resinous touch, subtle sweetness; even more complexity by minimally unpleasant, sporadic flashes of glue and purulence.

Shared bottle at Cardinal, Stavanger. Pours hazy brown with dense beige head. Aroma of yeast, spices, flowers, pine needles, coffee, dark chocolate, dark dried fruits. Taste is dominated by roasted bitterness. A very complex and good beer.

Shared bottle at Mi2 at Cardinal 14.09.15 and at Brussels Beer Project tasting at Cardinal 23.03.16. Cloudy, dark brown. Foamy and dense pale brown head. Aroma of oranges, citrus and marmelade. And dark caramel, leather and grapefruit, Similarly interesting taste. A beer to be analyzed rather than quaffed. Fizzy carbonation.

Aroma has vanilla, baking stuff and some roastiness. Flavour has resin, some pine needles, some grapefruity hops and coffeeish roastiness. Pleasantly balanced.

33cl bottle from Beer52.com. A murky mahogany coloured pour with a billowing beige head; deeply roasted malt aroma, almost burnt; deep woody bitterness, with some caramel; and a lingering bitter finish.

Bottle from the Brewery. Brussels Beer Project Dark Sister 6.66% am started off as a mchristmas one off version of their delta. it pours pitch black with an incredibly dense head of beige foam that lingers for ages in the teku glass. The nose is sweet pine & soft chocolate, very approachable. The carbonation is zesty & IPA like with a dry finish. A very well balanced black IPA flavor it starts off with a piney citrus hop burst then morphs into done chocolatey maltiness before veering back into a light hop bite. This is what I want in a black IPA something thatelds the two not just an IPA that happens to be black. This was heavenly when paired with a Pierre Marcolini macaroon.
