Imperial/Double Black IPA. An uncivilized amount of american hop spicyness along with a chocolaty mix of dark roasted flavors.

Amazing beer. Very hoppy, yet also fruity, with a solid body of roasted malt. Very tasty and diverse. Great.

Bottle 650ml @Beer Hunters
Opaque black brown color, steady bronish head. Toasted aroma with fruity-citrusy hoppy notes, some licorice. Medium-bodied. Licorice, rye bread, some bitterness, late ashyness. Not really typical CDA. More malty toastnyness than normally. Dissapointment from this brewery. Maybe needs very fresh bottle?

Botella de 65 cl en el Lupulo. 17-12-13. Alucinante cerveza... claro imperial black ale. Color negro intenso con espuma poco persistente. Cuerpo medio aumentando según calienta. Aromas frescos de lupulo con ligero toque cítrico, café, especiado y cacao . Sabores a lupulo fresco con Amargor notable marcados con quemados y torrefactos y algo de cacao en su momento más caliente. Ligero toque dulce a pasas al final. Gran combinación de verdor de lupulos y torrefactos. Muy buena ya va el segundo botellon y la cosa es para continuar.

Bottle @ ZZT 8 shared by Abijen. Opaque pitch black color, medium sized brown head that diminishes fairly quickly. Aroma has malts, very hoppy, lightly roasty. Taste malts, hops, moderately grapefruit, light to moderately roasty and nicely bitter. Medium body and carbonation. Delicious!

22oz bottle thanks to Summer Secret Santa 2013
Pours near black with a medium sized beige head and good lacing. Aroma of dark roasted malts, pine, chocolate and spicy. Flavors of dark malts, chocolate, pine with a sweet caramel finish
Very nicely done! A lot like a toned down Dubhe.
