You might be able to carelessly tuck yourself in and sleep soundly after a long stressful day. But right outside your window the city continues to suffer on its own.

Car alarms, music, laughter, sirens, stray dogs, broken glass, drunkards singing, bums fighting it out in the alleys and maybe some people even start redecorating their homes at these late hours.

As much as Lady Night tries to dampen all this ruckus with its pitch black shroud, there will always be spikes and flashes here and there.

But only a few lucky restless souls get to catch a glimpse of the real deal. Way high on top of the old buildings. It all changes into a truly beautiful scene: a glimmering contrast of darkness and bright, shiny colours.

Get a break from the mundane, stay up late, find a spot, sip some of this beer and admire the Night Lights.

50 cl can. Near black with a dense lightly tanned head. Roasted bitter aroma with citrus fruits, roasted malts, coffee, liquorice, brown cookies, and pines. The taste is bitter roasted. Medium to full body, good for the abv. Dry and roasted bitter finish. Very nice BIPA.

500 ml, can.
My first black IPA, so wasn't sure what to expect. Felt like drinking a lighter stout. Don't think I'll go crazy about it, but it was a nice beer.

50cl can achetée au Dynamo, partagée avec Vincent. BB 02/2026, lot# 23MIAU (bien vu pour le chat).
Couleur brune foncée/noire, col épais crémeux blanc-cassé.
Arôme sur un bon bouquet malté - grillé - toasté caramel avec de fins effluves de chocolat noisette - houblonné en support allant ves de snoites de résine - effet C-hops - plus centré sur l'herbacé/épicé que le fruité.
Palais où je retrouve tous les traits d'une bonne blackIPA - cela manque au niveau des offres. Caractèe malté chargé en notes de grillé, chocolat, café avec une franche amertume qui accompagne le tout - cela part dans des notes assez 'dank' - effet résine, sève, sapin.
J'y retrouve les marqueurs de ce qui faisait les prémices du style il y a environ 15ans.

Can @ Øllets Dag 2024, Sønderborg. Pours cloudy coffee brown with airy tan head. Clear aroma of hops, with touches of citrus and yeast. Bitter flavour of hops and citrus, with roasty notes of coffee and touches of malt and yeast. Roasty and hoppy aftertaste. Decent, if unattractive to look at.
