33 cl. bottle sampled during Zwanze Day shenanigans. Black, little tanned head. Nose is big hops, grapefruit, sweeter side of roasted malts, caramel, faint grapes. Taste is grapefruit, caramel & roasted malts, blended with coffee, touch blackberries, light grass & herbs in the back. Creamy & full body, def. not 3.5 % ABV. Very impressive esp. considering that it is probably not super-fresh. Very neat. (Thx! for sharing people!)

330ml bottle from beer-city.be
BBE 03/14 - Pours pitch black with a large foamy light brown head. Aroma of roasted malts, grassy hops, fruits, resin and pine. Taste is hoppy, grassy, ashy and slightly roasted with some fruitiness, resin and floral notes. Finish is carbonated, hoppy, smooth, mildly roasty with some hints of bitter cocoa, licorice, fruits, resin and long lasting dry bitterness. Quite complex and tasty for such a low ABV beer. Good and balanced light Black IPA.

bouteille 33cl, bb 04/2014. Brune, col épais crémeux, moka pour une bonne rétention. Arôme est malté grillé tenant plis d’une black IPA, pointe de torréfié sur un léger bouquet houblonné. Palais présente ici un bon mélange entre le houblon et les malts qui sont plus dans un profil grillé, caramel. Le Mozaic rajoute ce côté citronné, pin et herbacé agréable tant au niveau de l’amertume que des saveurs. Pour 3.5% ça reste facile à boire, agréable tout en étant complexe.
