Bottled at Moa Tiki, Singapore. Very dark brown, mid sized creamy head. Citrus, licorice pine and pears fight for attention in the nose. Mid dry with medium to full body and dense, well rounded mouthfeel. Coffee, chocolate and licorice provides excellent support for black currant and citrus provided by the hops. Long piney bitter finish. Man, Moa is restoring my hope in the modern craft beer culture! A lot of breweries knows how to buy the best ingredients, a few how to use them. But even fewer knows how to make a great beer from the bottom and up.
