Compleet stijlloos: da's de Hoppy Ending. Met gerst, tarwe en rogge. Vier hopsoorten. Chocolate malt en cocoa nibs. En twee gisten. Maar wie weet: misschien maakt hij jou wel happy.
Cascadian dark ale with rye, red rye, chocolate rye and wheat. Hopped with Chinook and Elixir. Cheers!

(Draught at Gist, Brussels, 23 Oct 2022) Black colour with creamy, beige head. Malty, roasted, hoppy nose with notes of black bread, liquorice, mint, grapefruit and pine needles. Malty, roasted, hoppy taste with black bread, liquorice, coffee, dark chocolate, grapefruit, pine needles, mint and a balanced citric/piney bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Tasty and well made black IPA. Very nice.

26/XII/22 - 33cl can from De Hopduvel (Gent), shared @ home, BB: VIII/2023 (2022-1775)
Pretty clear dark brown beer, big solid creamy beige head, stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: nice, caramel malts, good roast, a bit fruity, nice stuff, some tropical fruits, dried fruits. MF: lively carbon, medium body. Taste: bitter start, good roast, slightly sweet, coffee notes, malty. Aftertaste: good bitterness, caramel malts, gentle roast. Decent!

Pours a dark brown ( brown IPA?) . Medium intense roasty character, hops provide a very pleasant bitterness, and a mild hoparoma (could be amped up just a tad for me). Medium full body. More than decent!

Cascadian dark ale (or at least inspired by it) from this interesting Antwerp craft brewer; steinie bottle from Wijnegemse Drankenhal. Gusher, but slowly so. Thick and frothy, audibly crackling, foamy, pale yellowish beige, stable head on a dark chocolate brown (though not actually 'black') beer, hazy with ruddy hue, showing some dark protein bits sinking to the bottom - clearly this bottle is already past its prime, so I'll take that in consideration when rating. Still a hoppy explosion in the nose, the old school way: grapefruit peel, pine resin, cedar wood, moist pepper, onion, orange juice, brown bread, dry beef broth cubes, fried black olives, toasted walnut, caramel, dry earth, nutmeg, sweet Brazil cigars somewhere in the background. Crisp, fizzy onset, strongly stinging (over)carbonation at first but calming down further on, fruity hints of old raisins, pear and dried fig, restrainedly sweetish with a soft sourish undertone; brown-bready and bit caramelly maltiness, a tad sweetish but quickly bittered, by a nutty toasted malt aspect but most of all, by a very firm, 'old school American', grapefruity, piney, peppery, leafy hop bitterness, offering retronasal aspects of black pepper, toasted onion and bitter fruit - while undeniable yeast breadiness and fruitiness peeps through as well. Long, bitter finish, but mitigated a bit by this yeasty breadiness, juicy and satisfying all the same. Black IPA-inspired for sure, aromatically a fond memory from a recent past when this style was still popular, but not truly 'black' - if anything, this is more of a 'brown IPA' with some Belgian yeast notes pushing themselves forward through it as well. Whatever it is, I did certainly enjoy it.

Off-white head over cola-coloured beer. Nice New World hops, ever so slightly dusty smelling, and a bit of brown candi sugar; grapes. Good fragrant flavour of fruity (exotic fruit and citrus) hops. Bit thinnish MF, faintly slick; not very carbonated. Bit sweetish for a dark IPA, but in itself a nice enough beer. Thanks to Stef!

6 October 2018. At Modeste Bierfestival, Antwerp. Cheers to Anke & Elke!
Hazy brown with a small, slowly dissipating, frothy, off-white head; irregular lacing. Aroma of bayleaf, walnut, pine, roasted peanut, pink grapefruit peel, toast, prune. Taste is medium hoppy bitter, grapefruit peel & pine with a toasty accent, light fruity sweet, some caramel & nuts, sourish blackcurrant too. Dry & drying, piney & earthy hoppy finish, lingering nuttiness, toasted malt. Medium body, slick to creamy texture, fizzy carbonation. Good enough, needs some more punch.
