BOTTLE 33CL.
A bizarre mix of aromatic herbs, pickles? and sweet citrus. Little roasted malts, quite a hefty but still drinkable body. The finish is bitter with spicy herbal notes. Eccentric, but nice.

25th September 2014
Hotel tasting with Colin Theydon Bois. Almost opaque dark brown beer, fluffy pale tan head. Palate is airy and semi dry. Mild fine carbonation. Mild dark malts, quite light and a little tangy. Turns a little sweeter. Touch of dark fruits. Hops are the expected bitterish pine. Airy dry finish. Not bad at all.

330ml bottle. Hazy, dark chestnut colour with average to huge, firm, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, off-white head with beaten egg-white stiffness. Aroma delivers an inseparable mixture of roasty dark malty and herbal hoppy flavours, notes of green onions, dark chocolate, spearmint, "After Eight". Taste is dark malty with roasty notes and subtle sweetness, herbal, piney and citrusy hoppy counterweight is almost inextricably, not separately distinguishable interwoven, spearmint, green onions, liquorice (Süßholz, nicht Lakritz). Perfected to such an extent that it shows immediately the necessity to constitute Black IPA as style in its own right.

Bottle split with Kenny in the special surprise room tasting, Amsterdam Inntel pre Borefts livener, 25/09/14. Extremely dark mahogany brown with a decent khaki covering. Nose is earthy hop, pine, tangy bitter red berryness, tropical fruit tunes, light roast. Taste comprises earthy roast, liqourice, light spice, Beena berry, dank trops. Medium bodied, spritzy carbs - over cooked bit of a tongue bristler, earthy hop bitterness in the close. Decent enough CDA, overcarbing drags it down a notch or two for this Bois!

33 cl bottle @ home. Batch #182, BBE 07/2015
Aroma has gooseberry bush, nettles, licorice and some ash. Flavour has lots of grapefruit, some hoppy tones and ash. Finishes with ashy hops and more grapefruit. A bit messy but ok.

@Spanje, @Colmado L’estuca, @Girona, fles 33cl, 8%, lot #13-17 schenkt zwart en enorm schuimig, zelfs zo erg dat het het glas uitschiet, bruine kraag. aroma bevat den, veel laurier en chocolade. smaken bevat lekkere laurier/den, mocca, chocolade, niet zo bitter als menig andere BIPA, vrij dun, matig zoet, zwak/matige body, geroosterde mout. boventoon in dit bier is de laurier op een vrij dunnen textuur, maar wel op smaak, lekker absoluut maar mist net iets extra’s om het tot een top bier te maken. --- Beer merged from original tick of Black Storms on 25 May 2018 at 11:16 - Score: 7

Botella de 33 cl de 1420 tomada en septiembre de 2013. lote 369 hasta 06-2014. Color negro con espuma oscura. Sabores tostados y ligeramente quemados con toques herbáceos y algo resinosos. Cuerpo medio a alto con 8 vol que se notan en todo momento añadiendo un caracter alcohólico bastante agradable. Bastante buena y para repetir.

330ml Bottle - Black with a tan head. Pine, liquorice and roasted malt in the aroma. Pine, soapy hops, liquorice, roasted malt and a hint of coffee feature in the hoppy and slightly sweet taste. Very nice.
