Aeresis Black Ale is characterized by a black color with reflections that tend to brown and by a beige-colored foam, with good persistence. The balsamic and resinous notes of the hops stand out at first glance, blending with the toasted hints offering clear hints of licorice.
Aeresis It has a remarkable balance, a good body, a non-aggressive carbonation and a formidable roundness. On the palate the toasted notes dominate, followed by hoppy nuances that lead us back to the licorice perceived in aroma. The bitter and persistent finish reveals its "heretical" spiciness with a peppery heat in the aftertaste.

Draught @ HBF 2013
Pours dark brown with a small bubbly head. Aroma of fruity hops, hints of roasty malts and hints of spices. Taste is roasty and fruity with notes of hops and spices. Finish is grainy and malty. Decent, quite untypical black IPA.

Aroma is quite spicy with pepper, some fruity and caramel notes. Flavour has peppery spices with licorice and hints of ash. Unique and good.

Inconspicuous beige (?) head over russet-shot darker brown ale. Quite cheesy USA hops, black chocolate, with faint hints at manure and dark bread. Peppery flavour, if all in all quite mild. Again black chocolate; other spices (allspice, Szechuan,...). Bit of coffee too, and cocoapowder. Rather thinnish body, typical gristslickness filling. Some carbonation present, despite the headless aspect. Not bad, if nothing spectacular nor innovative either.

31/XII/12 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker) @ home - BB: VII/13 (2012-1446)
Clear purple brown beer, small irregular beige head, unstable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: sweet exotic fruits, lots of passion fruit, mango, sweet pineapple, some caramel, bit dusty, mocha on warming up. MF: very soft carbon, medium body. Taste: fruity start, citrus, bit spicy, sweet malts, bready, some caramel. Aftertaste: bitter, piny hops, caramel, bit malty, somewhat fruity, not much though. Weird beer, but not bad at all!

33cl bought at Brassigaume 2012. BB 07/2013, Lot#L059-12. Brune claire, col léger beige café au lait, jaune au verre. Arôme est malté, pointe épicée avec un houblon amérisant qui se fait bien présent rappelant ce bouquet très américain dans des notes d’agrumes. Léger nez épicé de poivre qui rajoute une petite dimension intéressante. Palais est malté, sec, pointe d’épice poivré qui titille le bas de gorge avec une pointe de malt fumé. Le tout garde une petite fin amer-houblonnée, sec et fleuri. Reste très légère avec cette alternance malt houblon et poivré qui perdure tout en étant léger mais contribuant à un palais sec voire terreux. Elav continue a m’impressionner., bravo à Antonio et à toute l’équipe.

33 cl. fles gedeeld met Dylan – Black Indian Pepper Ale – het is moeilijk om deze bier anders te beschrijven dan typisch Elav – uitzicht, geur, smaak, mondgevoel, alles roept gewoon Elav uit voor mij – donker bruin, enkel wat bubbels aan een kant van het glas – typisch Elav uitzicht – geur is zwanger met het Elav hop profiel, USA hop, bitter, veel hars, lichte pompelmoes, chocolade toets, redelijk wat lichtere mout eronder – bitter Elav hop profiel in de smaak, hars, lichte pompelmoes, cacao, mout, bitter hars, echt de boom schors zelf, beetje, zelfde waterigheid als de andere bieren van hen dat ik gehad heb – ik moest er wat zoeken en inderdaad wat zwarte peper op het einde – niet slecht – leuke tekening op de fles
