Tap. Brown color with beige head. Aroma is chocolate, good fruity hops, a bit sticky. Taste is the same, some resin, some leafiness, sticky bitter finish. Medoum carbonation, oily mouthfeel. Proper Black IPL, it's just not my style.

Taste is bitter hoppy and bitter, roasty, dark malty, zesty notes of orange, hints of burnt coffee, a touch of dark chocolate. Watery texture, dry palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation. Lots of hop bitterness, not many hop flavours - expected more.

0,44 l can from their web shop. Black in the glass with a full two finger foamy beige head in the glass. Intensive licorice and resin on the nose. Double edged sword, not far away from cat pee. Sorry. Taste is more on the licorice side, a lot of hops. Increasing dark malty, dry coffee. Long lasting aftertaste. Strong stuff.
