Black Magic

Can shared with JMD on board Fridtjofen 01.08.19. Cloudy dark hay colour. Off-white head and lacing. Strong aroma and taste tropical fruit juice, apricot and mango puree. Very hipster.

Can at home. Hazy orange color, medium sized white head. Smell and taste malts, lovely citrussy and old school hoppy, oh man I am enjoying this one. Decent to medium bitterness. Absolutely delicious. Love this one. 9-4-10-5-19=4.7 -- After that initial rating I tried it again twice, but I was less overwhelmed. The appearance was murky the second and third time, knocking 0.1 off the score as appearance went down from 4 to 3. Aroma is still superb an I must admit the flavor is still awesome as well, but there is something in there, I can't exactly tell what, but it's a tad dusty and less fresh / less heavy on the old school hoppiness this time. Still awesome, but no 10 for flavor. However, I usually tend to follow my original rating instead of changing it each time I drink a beer again. Especially if the difference is no more than let's say .2 or .3 in total. This time however, even though the difference in total is within that limit I just mentioned, the difference between being overwhelmed and just a very good beer are significant to me personally. When I review my own ratings and scores I want to be able to read this. Therefore I have adjusted this rating and score regardless of the small difference in the total score. 9-3-9-5-18.

Benzai ging hier los op. Hij overdrijft zoals gewoonlijk, maar het is best lekker
