Bottle [from Euro Swap 2016-2 thanks to Anstei] @ home. Opaque black color, huge lightly creamy tan head that lasts for a long time and leaves superb lacing. Aroma is malts, roasted malts, hops. Nicely balanced. Taste malts, some roast but quite lightly, light malt bitter, medium hop bitterness. Decent body , medium carbonation.

Tap at ZBF 2016. A very roasty and dark BIPA, not as hop forward as others. Good balance, but very bitter as well. Okay.

Good dark large head over pitch black beer. Dry hops with a kind of smoked sticks - as lemongrass used as kebabpins; laurel/bay leaf. Dry, ashes, flavour and again this marvellous Thai herb flavour. Medium bodied, dry, long-lasting flavours. Original, one you want!

BOTTLE 33 CL from Bov. The aroma is nice and complex, a interplay between hops and black malts - aromatic herbs, dill pickles, some lemon zest and just a touch of tropical fruit on one hand, and cold coffee roast on the other. Not much sweetness, but you can still pick up some licorice. The taste is a somewhat simple and pretty stouty. No, the hop flavours are there, but the roasty toasty and hoppy bitterness totally dominate the dry body. The finish is dry bitter with a touch of salt. Good, but not great.

Black color, small head. Good Black IPA, but it’s a bit too dry and carbonated; it’s also fairly yeasty.

Dark brown color with small beige head. Aroma is stouty: roasted malts, a subtle hoppiness. Taste is fresh, bitter chocolate, more roasted malts and with a bit of a bitterness in the finish. A bit weak in the taste. Smooth carbonation. Decent, but not my kind of beer.
