I denne øl arbejder vi med kontraster: Humlens friske bitterhed modvejer maltens mørke tyngde. Humlen giver fyldig bitterhed til IDA, ligesom i en IPA, men den bliver “dark” (fremfor “pale”) på grund af maltens mørke ristning. Dette skaber en lidt overraskende balance: Fremfor at få en øl, der er tung som en porter og med en rå humlebitterhed som en IPA, så modvejer humlens bitterhed maltens tyngde, og gør den frisk — og den dybe smag fra ristningen gør, at bitterheden afrundes blødt. Resultatet er altså en øl med det letteste fra begge verdener, og ikke det tungeste. Det blødeste fra malten og det friskeste fra humlen.

Fremragende til braserede retter, hvor humlens bitterhed kan spille op mod de tunge smagsnuancer – eller som en helt almindelig tørstslukker. En af vores meget populære øl hos både mænd og især kvinder.

0,5 flaske fra Irma Vesterbrogade 1.nyttårsdag på hytta: mørkebrun med flott cappucinofarget skumkrone. Deilig aroma av ristet brød, nøtter, mørk sjokolade og fruktig humle. Smaken følger opp, dette er et godt øl uansett stilart! De 70 IBU er eksemplarisk balansert av restsødmen. Et røverkøb til kr. 29.

Had@CPH BF 2013. Deep amber colour, small off-white head. Aroma is mild toasted malts, quite sweet with some mild nutty and sugary notes. Flavour is ripe fruits, mild toasted notes, quite burnt sugary sweet as well as some slight bitterness. Not all too hoppy though.

Bottle. An unclear, dark reddish brown beer topped by a small, dense, beige head leaving lacings. Perfumed, lightly roasted aroma with some caramel and bread. Medium to full body and a pleasant carbonation level. Roasted, caramel flavor with a nice grassy bitterness. Long finish. Not very interesting this one, lacking on most things to be a fine dark IPA. 141213

Small cream-coloured head over brown-black beer. Fruity, dried/preserved fruit, dry hops, some dark malts. Sweet-bitter, good dark malts and flavours of dark fruit. Finish has some other grains & spice. Some chocolate retronasal. Medium bodied, rather slick, well-carbonated feel. Not very long-lasting flavours. Warming up, something sourish appears, and more dull spices. Good black IPA. The Økologisk doesn’t spoil anything, which is even better news.
