"Je baisse les yeux et je panique...Un nœud nauséeux dans mon estomac. Mais je sais que je peux le faire. Je sais où je vais. J'y arriverai même si je dois ramper. Je nage au-delà des grosses vagues et je me tourne sur le dos. Je fais la planche et je n'ai plus peur...Il n'y a plus rien à craindre.
Je flotte. Le ciel est incroyable...D'un bleu sombre très profond. Les premières étoiles apparaissent. Si je pouvais, je resterais là pour toujours."Black Hope - Hommage à Charles Burns.
Session black IPA - BBC Citra, Mosaic et Columbus.

Lci. Too much carbonation... Kills the flavors in this session black ipa. After some waltzing... It's tasty.

17/VIII/21 - 33cl bottle from the Ermitage bottle shop, shared @ the Abeels’ place, BB: 31/V/22 (2021-833)
Clear dark brown to black beer, big dense creamy bit irregular beige head, stable, adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: pretty roasted, some citrus and tropical fruits, bit juicy, little malty, yeast, more roast. MF: very lively carbon, medium to light body. Taste: roasted start, bit sourish, very bitter, infected, refreshing, dry, some citrus notes. Aftertaste: pretty roasted, very hoppy, slightly resinous notes with a sourish touch, has the impression of being slightly infected...

Bouteille 33cl, BB26/05/2022.
Couleur acajou - ambre, col épais crémeux blanc-cassé.
Arôme au bouquet délicat, léger malté - chocolaté, grillé, rétro axé sur les houblons - agrumes, note de pamplemousse, léger pin avec presque un rappel de cannelle. Avec un peu de col, je note de fines effluves de fruits à noyaux - abricot pas encore mûre.
Palais est léger, Black IPA gardant de premier abord une approche plus centrée sur le malt - pointe de cara, léger chocolaté, effet caroube avec de suite un suivi houblonné apportant un léger herbacé, pin et de belles notes d'agrumes. Petite sécheresse de fin de bouche. Manque ce petit twist US.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Etre. Pours clear brown with a billowing, foamy khaki head. Light sweetness, soft roast, some toasted pine, grapefruit, tangerine, earth. Light bodied with lively, massaging carbonation. Decent balance in the finish, if a little bland, more subtle rosy, soft citrus fruits, light piney bitterness. Drinkable stuff.
