Dit is een krachtige Black India Pale Ale. Een bier met een veel hop aroma, ondersteund door donkere mout, en een lichte hint van gebrande mout.
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.

Dark ruby color, medium-sized off-white head, some lace. Aroma is quite light and it has liquerice and toasted malts. Medium-bodied. Lots of liquerice in the flavor, some ash. Lacks typical fruity hoppyness of black ipas and is a bit thinnish for this ABV. No off-flavors so more or less ok.

Tasted from the tap on the 10/07/2015 at Caminha ArtbeerFest. Dark brown colour with a solid white head. Aroma of licorice, chocolate and roasted malts. Taste is lightly sweet and intense with presence of licorice and chocolate too. Aftertaste is dry and nice. Next one please!

330 ml. bottle @ home. Bottled on 09.11.2013. GUSHER. Very dark blackish brown, huge sinking tanned head. Nose is big cacao, coffee grounds, cocoa puffs, cheap praline, something faintly sourish. Taste is bitter ashy coffee, bitter grounds, liquorish coffee, ashes, dry bitterness, cheap very dark chocolate, big ashy bitterness, bitter bark, bitter coffee grounds,… Roast was huge. I feared the worst looking at the date & after I saw this gushing. While I would have preferred more sweetness, this wasn’t bad at all. Big bitterness, big roast, touch thin. Bitterness lingers for a long while.

Bottle thnx to the brewers, via my Dutch friend Bram. Pours very dark brown, huge white head in the pour, no gusher though. Smell is rather common for a BIPA, hoppy, some ’metalic’ dark malts. Taste is very sharp bitter, hoppy aroma is rather hidden thnx to the overpowering black malts. This reminds me very much of my own homebrew’s black IPA. Which is a good thing, since I try to brew what i like myself. Very overcarbonated though. Some coffee tones, bitter, bit fruity / full hoppy flavour. I like this. Sad for the overpowering carbo though.

Opaque darkest brown colour, good two finger fluffy light tan head, recedes slowly to a lasting thick layer, light lacing. Roasted malt nose, cacao, liquorice, burnt caramel. Taste medium bitter, light to medium sweet, liquorice, chocolate notes. Medium body, oily to watery texture, average carbonation, aftertaste medium bitter, roasty, chocolate, spices (cloves, laurel). Overall too roasted to be a real dark IPA, hops (six varieties!) almost totally subdued, but besides that a nice beer...

330ml bottle. Darkest brown colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, tan head. Grassy and herbal hoppy aroma, hints of spearmint, menthol, green onions, roasty dark malty background, a touch of liquorice. Taste is bitter, roasty dark malty, slightly salty, a metallic touch of iron rust, herbal and bitter hoppy overtones. Not necessarily recommended for the first-time user.

Black with a creamy head. Quite a grassy, green hop aroma. Nice flavour of roasted bittersweet malts. Slightly herbal. Fresh and bitter hops too. Hint of chocolate in the aftertaste. An interesting Black IPA.
