Bottle sample at a tasting at Tom L’s place. Thanks Tom L. Deep amber-brown. Aroma of caramel, candy, dark fruits, a bit of roast. Sweet flavor with caramel, dark fruits, a bit of candy, roast, and a bitter hops finish. Medium-bodied. Not really a Black IPA, somewhat Dubbel-ish.

Bottle. Deep brown with a thin head. Aroma is dry burnt malt. Flavour is fruity, burnt, very dry, almost like tea.

500ml bottle. Pours a cola like colour into the tulip glass. Off white head that’s gone quickly. Very light in colour for a BIPA, and very little hop nose coming from the glass. More of a vegetal and grass note here. Smoother mouthfeel, almost porter-like, works as a porter more than a BIPA, very little roast as well, more nutty than anything else, again, veg and grass or hay. Not what I was hoping for to be honest, works well as a porter or maybe even a brown ale, not a BIPA however.
