Zeker fruitig, met een mooie toets van hop en koffie. Geen bier om snel te drinken, maar om van te genieten. Proost !!!
Voorheen gebrouwen bij De 3 Horne in Kaatsheuvel.

Aroma of roasted malts, tropical fruits, light coffee, light chocolate. Flavour is hoppy, roasty, some chocolate and coffee, some caramelly sweetness, with a medium bitter finish.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Not black but very dark brown colored brew with an great dry bitter taste, with hints of chocolate and with an little bit of smokiness. Great beer in this style.

Bottle. Deep dark brown color. Malt, licorice and a hint of ash in the aroma. Roast, ash, licorice and citrus in the slightly tart hopbitter flavor. The licorice dominates. Some grassy hopbitterness in the aftertaste.

Hilldevils' interpretation of a 'Cascadian dark ale', with smoked malt and a bunch of classic American hops. Quite strong gusher, but manageable when opened very carefully. Tightly plastery lacing, very thickly mousy, pale yellowish beige, well-retaining head, misty blackish robe but still translucent with a warm purplish-burgundy glow under bright light so indeed not totally black. Aroma of fried barbecue sausages (the smoky element popping up first), pine resin, beef stock, black radish juice, elder leaf, mud, gravy, soaking wet cigarettes, brown soap, soggy brown bread, cloves, old kitchen herbs, stale sweat. Bit estery and sourish onset with very low sweetness, quite outspoken umami edge (black olive, beef stock), prickly minerally carb, bit 'stiff' mouthfeel, resinous. Toasty-nutty and burnt-bread-like malt body with that deep, forest floor leaf-like sourishness continuing, enhanced by a strong, smoky-meaty umami factor as well as a tonic water-like, 'wormwoody', long and piney-spicy bitterness, stretching all the way down the throat alongside the inherent wryness of the roasted malts. I love a good 'BIPA' but this one fails on two points for me: first, I don't see the point of distracting attention from the hops by adding smoked malts, which I would otherwise have nothing against, and second, this needs finetuning in its refermentation, which I even doubt is necessary at all in this particular beer style. Hilldevils still remain somewhat overrated to me...

Bottle at home, 1st October 17. Pours black, not totally. Aroma is cocoa, citrus. Taste is hoppy enough, cocoa, bitter, a good BIPA actually.

Pours black with dark red undertone and quite big off white head. Fruity notes, some black currant and chocolate in the nose. Taste decently bitter, a bit herbal with lasting aftertaste that geys quite noticeable coffee feel later on. Lighter body. Pretty decent.

Bottle at home. Almost black with big darker beige head. Looks good! Some lime on the nose at first. Grassy hops, more lime, grapefruit, light ash, dark chocolate, dried apricot. Quite fruity and roasted, with chocolate sweetness and some grassy bitterness. Really what you’d expect from a typical black IPA. Medium bodied with carbonation a it in the fizzy side. Enjoyable beer.

Zwart bier met weinig tot geen schuim. Smaak is bitter met rook en licht zoet met iets van vruchten.
