It is a nice stout, all the qualities that you could expect from such kind of beer, roasted malt, coffee, hop, little sweet, 31.08.16 drinking it at Bonfol, enjoying the sun, in family, buying it in one coop at Brig or Zürich.

Bottle @ Andorra Bar, Zurich. Close to black body with a small beige head. Strong aroma of dark, roasted malt, licorice, some coffee and slightly fruity. Flavor is also quite strong on the roasted malt, licorice, dry frui, resin and quite bitter. Fine body, long lasting aftertaste and rather complex for the style. Tasty and enjoyable.

The beers starts fresh and malty. Not too much Citra there, the body is full of dark black malt. Roasted dry aftertaste with a moderate roast-bitterness. On the tongue remains a malty roasted dark and intense flavour. Very nice, but the floral hops are way in the background under the heavy malt layer.

Bottle from Coop. Quite an uneventful and standard BIPA, but also not bad by any means. The roasty aroma and taste and the IPA character are there as you wish, but there’s not a lot to discover.

Bottled@HBF2015. Black colour, small brown head. Aroma is fruity, grassy, some mild toasted notes. Flavour is fruity, floral, some bready and mild ashy maltiness to it. Mellow on the roasted and ashy side of things makes this quite ok to drink.
