Intensiv röstig-malziger Antrunk, passende starke Hopfigkeit. Deutlich Kaffee im Mittelteil, gepaart mit grasig-süßen und leicht bitteren Noten. Vollmundig, geringe Spuren von Alkohol. Voluminöser und sehr langer Nachhall, weich röstig, sehr bitter, was aber gut eingebunden wird, frisch hopfig. Bisher das beste französiche Bier das ich kenne! 11/13/13/14/12/13

Bottle from Village De La Bière, Strasbourg consumed at Fischers Fritz Camping, Kirchner, Nr Zurich, Switzerland, Friday 24th June 2016. Pours black with a slim light beige head, a little black treacle and hops combine, hops linger longer though. Of all the Matten beers I’ve had so far this wins out. Good fruity black IPA, enjoying this. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.6

0.33l bottle from a shop in kaysersberg, 3.50€, bottle 0850, best before jan 2065 ;)
pours an opaque black with a huge chocolate head. aroma of herbal hops, rubber, roasted malts, smoke, coffee, a hint of tropical fruits. flavour of roast, licorice, herbal/digestive bitter (angostura-like). oily mouthfeel, very long bitter, somewhat tongue-numbing finish.

Bottle shared. Black with enormous beige head, hard to pour this one. Roasted malts, light chocolate, all kinds of tropical fruits with passion fruits, pineapple. Some lychee and dried peach. Underneath the hops there’s some coffee and light tart dried berries. Light sweet, medium bitter and a light sour kick at the end. Medium bodied with quite some fizzy but soft carbonation.
