(Can) Dark reddish brown colour, almost black, with big frothy beige head, leaving taces of lacing. Malty, toasty nose with chocolate, dark bread, dried fruit, dates and orange. Malty, hoppy taste with notes of chocolate, dark bread, dates, dried fruit, orange and a mild citric/piney bitterness. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Possibly not as hoppy as expected, but tasty and well balanced. Nice one.

Can from Systembolaget. Pleasnt hoppy aroma. Beautifully black. A really interesting smooth, somewhat complex taste, quite pronounced with the liquorice. A great hoppy bitterness in the ending that is a treat and maeks you want more and more. In fact, quite a bit like sweet quality liqourice. A really decent black IPA, that i kept upgrading in score....Really impressed by the Spike stuff.
