A balanced malt, hop and spice nose. Taste features roasted malt, some mildly fruity hops, deep rye spiciness and some grassiness. Dark berries and booze heat are nice undertastes. Complex, refreshing but rich at the same time. A classic.

Black pour, big light brown head. Aroma is a spectacular blend of resinous pine, and roasty coffee malts. Mouth feel is silky, and carb is soft. The finish though kinds falls off. The hops fade big time and the strong roast just fades and is a light cocoa, and hints of brown sugar, with medium bitterness. Started great, finkshed weak.

0.355 l can from 'Beer Republic'. Very dark ruby to black with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, beige head. Intensely fruity-resiny, gently roasty aroma of pine, blueberry, tropical fruits, coffee, dark chocolate and some caramel. Gently sweet, malty, quite roasty, rather fruity-resiny taste of massive pine, orange jam, mango, some blueberry, dark chocolate, hard roasted coffee and light caramel, followed by a short, quite roasty, rather bitter finish. Medium to full body, smooth and gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Fantastic BIPA, very intense and super hoppy, definitely among the best I've ever had.
