Bottle, 0.33l. From Eurospin supermarket, brewed by Vizir. Deep ruby pour, almost black on sight. One finger creamy beige head, long lasting, excellent retention. Thick lacing on the glass as it goes down. Really nice on the nose, balanced roastiness and hop character. Thin to medium body, medium carbonation. Average texture, a bit light mouthfeel. Moderately bitter roasty taste. Aroma is a bit watery but nice nonetheless. Roasted malts, dark chocolate, subtle caramel. Good hop character with citrus notes paired with herbal grassiness. Hints of vanilla in the aftertaste. Medium lasting finish, dry and moderately bitter. Overall, decent black IPA. Tasty and quite sessionable, given the ABV. Nice.

Pours thick black body with huge, frothy looking beige head. Long lasting and leaving nice lacing on the glass. Caramel and hops on the nose. Very intense smell, slightly sour. Medium body, softly carbonated. Regular texture. Taste is balanced between bitter and sour, mouthfeel is nicely roasted. Aroma of roasted malts, caramel, smoke, hops, licorice, dark chocolate.

Bottle, 0.33l. Pours pitch black with large soapy light brown head and average sparkling appearance. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, grass, must, acetone and cocoa. Taste starts with light to medium sweet roasted malt, but gets quickly overpowered by sour notes of soaked cereals and sauerkraut, mouthfeel is mild spicy, while finish is medium bitter, Medium body, slick texture and lively carbonation in palate. Would be quite good without an infection, however still a drain pour...

Pours pitch black, topped with a huge cream colored head, very lasting. Some roasty notes in the initial aroma, covered later by hops - citrusy and pine notes, but it quickly disappears. Moderate hoppy bitterness with some chocolate in the back. Lasting aftertaste which is bittery and way too herbal - not nice. Some coffee left in the end. Medium light body, nice low alco level so easily drinkable, but it just alcks something.
