Bottle 33 cl. Pours a pretty, clear ruby red with a light brown head. Dusty, herbal licorice aroma, a little greasy hoppiness. Medium body, medicinal licorice feel, cough syrup, some hops alright but they are not particularly aromatic. Bitterish finish. Decent, and clearly a Black IPA. 240615

330ml bottle from Saveur-Biere.fr. Pours black with frothy tan had. Aroma is herbal hops and roasted malts. Taste is herbal & chocolatey with a slick texture. Not too into the herbal side, but it’s still a fairly decent BIPA.

Sampled draft @ “Kaapse Brouwers 1st Anniversary Beer Festival”. Black, little mocha head. Nose is huge on pine resin hops, lovely profile, oily grapefruit peel, light chocolate in the back. Taste is huge pine resin, oily grapefruit peel, wonderful hop profile & big on the hops, followed by very creamy sweet chocolate, complementary roast, sweet malts, light sweet coffee,… Very creamy. Wonderful BIPA. Very happy with what I have had so far from these guys.

Gelungen hopfig malziger Beginn, wenig röstig. Steigender runder Hopfen, dabei gefällt die schokoladig malzige Basis. Die Aromenkombination bleibt gleich, die Intensität steigt leicht. Vollmundig. 10/12/12/12/11/12
