Can from Gedeelde Vreugde. Hazy black, small, foamy, tan head. Aroma of grapefruit peel, pomegrenate, orange, pineapple, toast, fondant, chestnut. Taste has sweetish orange & pomegrenate, turning towards bitter grapefruit peel, roasted pine & actual toasty maltiness, very slightly chocolatey. Earthy-piney hoppy finish, nicely grapefruity with delicate 'powdery' roasted malts and a soft gin-like alcohol glow. Medium body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. Thoroughly hopped with supportive roastiness.

Perfect balance of caramel, roast, citrus, tropical fruits and pine for what I like in a BIPA. Really good and a lovely label too 😻 --- Beer merged from original tick of Batcat on 18 Mar 2021 at 00:11 - Score: 8.

440ml Can - Dark brown with a foamy head. Pine, grapefruit, liquorice and fudge in the aroma. Hoppy and slightly soapy taste with grapefruit, orange and liquorice detected. The usual 'darker' notes in a black IPA are not so evident here.
