24/III/23 - on draft @ Surréaliste taproom (Brussels), BB: n/a (2023-269) Thanks to all for sharing today’s beers!
Clear dark brown to black beer, small creamy beige head, pretty stable, a bit adhesive. Aroma: malty start, very roasted, dry, grains, hay, cow fodder, decent. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: bitter, very hoppy, good roast, coffee grit, very malty, grains. Aftertaste: dry, very bitter, hoppy, roasted, coffee, a bit malty. Decent porter/stout. Only afterwards I read it’s supposed to be an Indian Porter? So Black IPA? Not a lot of aromatic hops then…
