Bottle. Almost black. Malt and licorice in the aroma. Malty sweet flavor with roast and licorice. Herbal hops. Hint of citrus, simple but effective.

33 cl. bottle @ Wolfsfeld, bought @ Rewe, An holt. Black with a dense beige head. Hoppy aroma with roasted malts, coffee and some chocolate. Taste is medium bitter with a nice long lasting bitter finish. Very nice (imperial) black IPA.

Bottle [thanks RW80] @ home. Opaque pitch black color, huge foamy light to medium brown colored head. Aroma is super weird, it reminds me of stuff I don't want in a beer: yoghurt, metallic, baked vegetables. Gets worse with the second. Awful smell. Taste malts, again that weird metallic vegetable aroma and flavor comes through. I really don't know what it really is. I also don't know what they intended here. The flavor is doable, but the aroma is really vile. Might over the top coffee or some kind of herbs or spices. In any case: there should be balance in a black IPA between roasted malts and hops. These two flavors should dominate. And while coffee could add an interesting touch, it can't disrupt the balance as this is crucial in a Black IPA imo. In this case there is no balance at all.
