Un houblonnage intense perce le nez avec beaucoup d’agrumes (pamplemousse et citron), de résine, et de très discrètes notes de torréfaction aux accents de café noir. Le liquide se présente noir mais clair avec des reflets rubis. Sa mousse beige est généreuse et persistante. L’entrée de bouche est tout en agrumes avec des notes de fruits tropicaux et de pamplemousse et une finale mi- terreuse mi- résineuse. Les notes de torréfaction sont discrètes mais font quand même ressortir un peu de café. Délicieuse. Plus IPA que black.

Pours a copper colour with a deep amber hue. Nice creamy beige head, long lasting and thick creamy lace. Fresh grassy nose with some chocolate malt aromas. Hints of sweetness also from the yeast, seems like oats as well. The hops are also quite present with piney notes over mild roasted malts. Good bitterness lingering. Decent dryness. A nice American Black ale.

Bottle: Poured a dark black color ale with a large brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of roasted malt with some green hoppy notes is pretty satisfying. Taste is a mix of dry roasted malt with some green, citrusy and resinous shops notes with well-balanced bitterness level. Body is little bit thinner then I was expecting with good carbonation. Solid example of the style but fuller body and creamier body would have been even better.

Decent roast, some citrus. Decent black IPA without being remarkable. Light bittersweet finish. Cask Days shared by someone.

650mL bottle, sent from yourilevesque (thanks a lot, Youri), pours a deep dark brown / near black with a small tan head. Aroma is phenomenal, with roasted malts and piney hops in impeccable balance. Flavour is similarly impeccably balanced, with loads of roasted malt and piney hops. Can't get much better than this for a black IPA. Just outstanding in every way.

A clear dark brown ipa with a thin lacing mocha head. In aroma, sweet caramel malt with loads of bitter chocolate, coffee grind, smooth floral hops, very nice. In mouth, a nice bitter chocolate malt with coffee grind, resinous floral hops, grapefruit pulp, nice and pleasant, complex, well done. On tap at vices et versa.
