Das Black Ale ist ein Ensemble aus sieben verschiedenen Malzsorten. Toffifee, Kaffee und dunkle Schokolade sind die resultierenden Aromen. Außerdem macht sich eine überraschende Fruchtigkeit zwischen den Malzaromen bemerkbar, was auf den wenig sparsamen Einsatz unseres Mandarinas zurückzuführen ist. Ein sehr weicher, voller Körper mit einer gut zusammenspielenden Röst- und Hopfenbittere beschreiben Geschmack und Mundgefühl.

Drunk watching Killjoys, not a bad show. Not great, but ok. The beer, that's another story. Black, tall brown head, nose of cacao and brown sugar. Great thick flavor, hint of molasses, very well rounded package with huge body. Could use more hop bitterness but it's very tasty. A smooth operator! Thanks Enzo for these beers, very tasty stuff.

330ml bottle. Clear, darkest brwon colour with ruby shimmer and average, thick, frirm, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, dark beige head. Roasty and chocolately, dark malty aroma, notes of chocolate, some coffee, malt lozenge, dark caramel, a touch of toffee and nougat, slightly zesty, citrusy hoppy overtones with hints of mandarine, mandarine peel. Taste is sweet-ish, chocolately and roasty dark malty and citrusy fruity hoppy, notes of coffee, dark chocolate, orange, mandarine, malt lozenge, orange-flavoured chocolate, a touch of treacle, liquorice root, toffee and caramel, some earthy honey as well. Creamy-oily texture, smooth, soft and silky palate, fine and soft carbonation. Quite strong on the malty side, rather conventional on the hoppy side, maybe a bit too sweet but really tasty - good.

Bottle shared with Kristall-König @ his home a few months ago. Real black in the glass. Fruity hopy smell. Taste is smooth, dry, hop fruity, some sourness. Expected more. Still okay.
