Draught at CBF Wien.
Brown body, with a big, creamy, lacing, beige head.
Aroma of grapefruit, caramel, orange, some tropical fruits, subtle liquorice.
Tastes of grapefruit, orange, caramel, peach, some passion fruit, biscuit, some honey.
Medium, oily to creamy mouthfeel, with a lively carbonation.
Finishes bitter, a bit dry, zesty, fruity, moderate sweet malty.
Very nice. The nose has some unusual notes, not sure if they are from the ink (does that even has aroma?). Taste is really lovely, smooth, very hoppy, but also with a broad, sweet malt body. Great balance throughout. Overall a really enjoyable, heavier, but quaffable DIPA.
