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.

Draught @ Hoppy Days. Dark red-brown color with a small off-white to beige head. Smell and taste malts, some hops, lightly sweetish, slightly bitter, some caramel. Average body and carbonation. Meh. Not a black IPA at all. Wrong keg maybe?

(Draught at In De Wildeman, Amsterdam, 26 Feb 2015) Black colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with dark chocolate, black coffee and pine needles. Malty, roasted taste with notes of dark chocolate, pine needles, asphalt and a generous piney bitterness in a fairly dry finish. More than medium body, quite dry. Tasty and well made black IPA. Nice one.

Draft at In De Wildeman. Pours near black with a thick beige head. Aroma of roast, citrus, orange peel, fresh tropical fruit hops solidly breaking through the dark aspects. Flavor is light moderate sweet and over moderate bitter. Aside from the subdued roast and a little chocolate in the palate it’s really the hops that are shining through. Certainly doesn’t taste like it looks! Medium bodied with light carbonation. This is a really fine example of a confused style and truly a black ipa rather than a hoppy stout.

Draught, Ma Che Siete Venuti A Fa. Roma. Murky dark brown appearance with a medium tan head. Some roasty toasty notes in the beak alongside some hoppage. Flavour was on the sweet side of the tracks with more roast alongside some rustic, earthy bitterness and notes of chocolate and fruits. Decent Black IPA that ploughs its own furrow.

Cask @ BQ 62, Milano. Ambrée, col blanc cassé. Arôme aux bonne saveurs de malts grillés avec ce petit bouquet de grains assez doux et un rétro de chocolat. Houblon arrive en retrait et se fait un peu trop discret. Palais est malté grillé tirant presque sur un léger café au lait. Amertume houblonné est modérée et ajoute de fines pointes d’agrumes. Le profil café-esque est sympa mais le tout manque juste le coche avec un houblonné qui manque de rétablir la balance. Autrement, une belle découverte qui se laisse boire avec facilité.

Slightly hazy brown. Med head. Aroma is orangey-fruity with some toasty brown ale notes. Sweet malts, brown sugar, some toasty character and sweet fruity Dipa-style hops. So like marmalade and brown sugar...makes sense but not my preferred balance. Decent beer, expanding the concept at the sweet end.

Tap @Ma Che Siete Venuti A Fa
Dark brown color, good brownish head. Woody hoppy, a bit toasted aroma. Medium-bodied. Grassy, piney hoppyness, toasted, slightly sweet malty base. Sweetish black ipa, but very enjoyable with good malt profile.
