Dark Malt and American hops unite to bring a new age of bitterness. Pithy grapefruit and resin combine with a dark chocolate and roasty coffee hit to deliver a resonating bitterness that goes beyond IBUs.

Not my favorite bipa. A bit to sweet. Still very nice and tasty.
Black color with a fine thick tan head. Good lacing. Nice intensity in the aroma. Medium + body and a smooth carbonation level. Easy to drink. A bit sweet and a fine bitterness. Dark malt, chocolate, pine, grapefruit hoppy, some roast and dried fruits in the flavor.

Draught @ Gollem Amstelstraat, Amsterdam. Brown to dark brown color, average sized beige head. Smell and taste malts, slight roast in the distance and hops in the distance. Very thin texture, average body and carbonation. Disappointing and below par for brewdog standard.
