0,33l bottle at home courtesy of MisoW, big thanks. BB 12.04.2016. black color, small coffee-colored head. smells a bit sourish, light funk, bit musty, some earthy notes, licorice, nice smell, but not what I expect from a Black IPA. medium to full body, soft carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes rather acidic, hints of sweetness, light exotic fruits, licorice, light ash, hints of sourness. finishes rather sour with notes of green apples and some grass. uhm, well my bottle was not that old, so there should not be an excuse for the sourness. overall drinkable the way it is, but definitly a brewing mistake.

Bottle - thanks Summer Secret Santa! Pours deep clear mahogany, medium tan head, dissipates fairly quickly with decent lacing. Aroma is lots of roasted malt, brown sugar and molasses, some pine resin. Flavor is roasty, a tad burned, lots of pine, a hint of citrus, not sweet, medium bitter. Medium body. Better than it rates.

A brown ipa with a thin mocha head. In aroma, sweet nutty caramel malt with grassy floral hops, herbaceous, nice. In mouth, a nice sweet nutty caramel malt with grassy floral hops, grapefruit pulp, nice nutty notes, surprising for Czech Republic. Bottle at Mondial 2015.

Dark brown colour, firm off-white head. Aroma of caramel, malts, honey, Porto wine and raisins. Malty flavour, caramel, hops. Finish caramel and something reminding of wood.
