# 955; 2/2018. Parádní, hutný, krásně medově a ovocně sladký a zároveň drsně chmelově hořký a lehce alkoholový pivo.

So, Beers 'N' More kept the last keg in existence of this for a special occasion. Which turned out to be their last day in existence. Ah... Murky peachy body, off white head. Creamy peach and oxidation notes in the aroma, some alcohol. Good so far, not a wow. The taste, however, is. Smooth, lovely taste, dried apricot and figs. Alcohol is present but really, who cares. Oxidation is evident and I should dislike it because of that, but it's so smooth and classy, well made that... no. An honor to have tried it!

Bottle @ Jesperhus, trade by Rotin and Ascelja, Thanks!. Pours clear deep golden with an offwhite head. Aroma of malt some white sugar, rich fruity hops, quite bitter, citrus, grapefruit, pine, alcohol. Flavor is sweet and rather bitter, intense, malt, bitter fruit, peachy, citrus, tangarine, orange, piney, alcohol. Medium to full body, soft carbonation, sweet and rather bitter finish with heavy warming alcohol. Did drink pretty good for the high ABV. 170519

Bottle, many thanks Felix! Clear bronze color with soapy head. Aroma is sticky pine, toasted malts, port, honey. Taste is honey, sticky pine, resinous, almost medicinal bitter. Oily mouthfeel, almost flat. Tasty, it works out quite well!

Tap at cpf 2018. Pours amber. Aroma is sweet, fruity, malty. Flavor is sweet and bitter, booze, fruits, mango, citrus. Finish is really hoppy, sweet with booze. Overall: drinkable and a lot more beer like than several similar brews. --- Beer merged from original tick of Black Label #2: Ice Double IPA on 18 May 2018 at 20:26

Sampled from tap at CBF Vienna 2018. Almost clear, golden amber with a thin, slightly creamy, slowly diminishing, off-white head. Sweetish, moderately resiny, just slightly fruity and minimally boozy aroma of pine, mango and orange jam. Quite sweet, malty, quite resiny and slightly fruity taste of pine, mango, orange jam and dried apricot, followed by long, resiny, quite bitter, slightly boozy and fairly warming finish. Full body, creamy to oily mouthfeel, very soft carbonation. Smells a bit old, tastes way less boozy than expected, rather like a hoppy Barleywine. Overall quite nice.

0,1l from tap at Salon Piva, Bratislava shared with Sander. Served from Ice Block. amber hazy color, small white head. smells pines, ripe fruits, bit parfumy. full body, almost no carbonation, oily mouthfeel. tastes of pines, sweetness, ripe fruits, parfumy, peppery. finishes light to medium sweet with notes of pines, ripe fruits and some oats. Surprisingly good one, rather on the sweet side but overall still rather drinkable. 7, 4, 7, 3, 15
