Beer inspired by the American style Black Ale (Black IPA) with an almost impenetrable black color with some grenade reflections, it shows a nice compact and durable head. Aromas and flavors intertwine in the malted components and in the generous hops with American varieties. The dry hopping performed with the "Hoptimator", an instrument designed by the brewery team, gives the beer a fresh and intense hop character.

Clear dark brown colour, tall creamy tan head, very good retention, heavy lacing. Aroma roasted malts, dark fruits, light cocoa, brown sugar. Taste light heavy sweet and medium bitter, malty, fruity, bit dark chocolate, with average to long duration. Mild bittersweet finish, medium body, watery to oily texture, soft carbonation, well made and balanced, smooth and drinkable.

On tap at Christian Firtal. Cloudy dark brown with a thick head. Aroma of pineapple and licorice. Sweetish licorice flavour with fruity notes and a touch of alcohol. Roasted bitterness in the finish. A strange beer
