I think is more like a porter/stout than a black ipa

Bottle from Beer Planet labelled Zwarte Piet. Apparently Zwarte Piet is going to be another different beer soon, but this one was the Equinox. Dark brown, creamy golden head. Aroma is beefy, roasty. Bit fruity too, and some whiskey type booze or spice. Taste is dark and roasty, bit of booze there, touch of coffee bitterness, spice, liquorice. Quite full on in the mouth and even a little bit prickly. Pretty nice. --- Beer merged from original tick of Brusseleir Zwet IPA on 09 Sep 2019 at 16:06 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 9 | Flavor - 9 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 8.

75 cl bottle. Cardemom and brown sugar in the aroma. Peppery and spicy flavor with some caramel and yeasty bitterness. Sweetish, malty, reasonably balanced for a spicy beer.

Tastes a bit too astringent and harsh for me. The bitterness isn’t a pleasant one, and it clashes with the malt bill. online saveaur bier

RB backlog, Bevog Festival 2018. Berries, zesty grapefruit, coffee, nuts. Medium sweet, a bit tart and with a medium bitter finish. Medium body with medium carbonation that could be a little softer.

Bottle. Malty aroma, hoppy notes, chocolate, cocoa, light coffee, earthy notes. Tastes the same as aroma, medium bitter, light sweet notes. Full body, medium to high carbonation, malty bitter finish. Ok.

Huge thanks to JefVerstraete for that one! Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass zippy, nice head. Malty roasty aroma. Starts quite malty, modest dry, some fine roasty-earthy notes. More and more hoppy-dry, with a bitter background. Well balanced finish. Nice one!
