Backlog

Bottle from Systembolaget, e-order i Msy 2018. Black with a tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, licorice and grapefruit. Similar taste. The body was medium as was the bitterness.

330ml Bottle - Black with a foamy head. Pine, liquorice and a hint of tobacco in the aroma. Roasted and slightly smoky with taste with notes of coffee, liquorice, fudge and pine. Not as hoppy as I was expecting but still nice.

I bought a lot of raspberry beers from systembolaget and grabbed this in my fridge. Did not read anything on the bottle and thought it was a raspberry stout. Nice. But it was no raspberry flavor here. Hmmm. Hmm to little raspberry to shine through? Nah just a plain refreshing stout. Some citric notes that made it quite fresh and easy drinkable. Hmmm I see now that it is listed as a black ipa. Nah did not remind me very much of an bipa either. But it was a really pleasant and refreshing stout. Ok with some citric notes.
