Aftertaste: very bitter and dry finish, fruity notes, little acidic, hoppy, grassy touch, oranges, some pineapple, very decent beer!

Keg at BBP. It pours hazy deep reddish - brown withy decent off-white head. The aroma is sweet, toasty, stewed orange, marmalade, mango, berry, cocoa and candy. The taste is drying, bitter, earthy roast, toasty, quite raw, pine needles, resin, coffee, tree bark, leather, pithy citrus and a touch of spice with a drying finish. Lightish body and average carbonation. A bit light for the amount of hops involved. OK.

Bouteille 33cl de BBP. Léger brun, col fin blanc-cassé. Arôme au bouquet malté, grillé, caramel, fruité et bien houblonné avec petit effet de pamplemousse. Palais est malté, cara pâle, petite note de grillé, houblonné modéré apportant des notes d'agrumes et léger tropical. Pointe d'herbacé et de résineux sur le fini avec renforcement de l'effet pamplemousse. Le côté malté arrive en balance sans pour cela en faire la black IPA de référence, j'aurai aimé un peu plus de malt grillé.

Tasting glass @ BBP. Ugly red hued brown, creamy small tanned head. Nose is mellow herbal, cacao, coffee, leaves, not very outspoken & restrained nose. Taste is interesting sweet cacao, blue cheese hop, coffee, plastic, sweet bread, is this with Sorachi Ace hop,… Rather thin bodied cacao body. Not really what a BIPA should be but the blue cheese hop mixed with cacao is surprisingly tasty. Nice, messy but quite enjoyable.

Not as black as you would expect from a black IPA…
