(Draught at Jopenkerk, Haarlem, 27 Aug 2015) Black colour with creamy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with black coffee, cacao and pine needles. Malty, roasted taste with notes of black coffee, cacao, pine needles and a fairly dry finish with a generous roasty bitterness. Medium body, quite dry. Solid and well made porter, with a generous hop character. Excellent beer.

330 ml bottle into tulip glass, unreadable bottle dating on the cap. Pours nearly pitch black color with a 1-2 finger dense khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, chocolate, cocoa, coffee, toast, dark bread, floral, grass, and floral/roasted earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/piney hops and roast/bready malt notes; with good strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, chocolate, cocoa, coffee, toast, dark bread, floral, grass, and floral/roasted earthiness. Moderate amount of pine and roasted bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon/orange peel, pine, chocolate, cocoa, coffee, toast, dark bread, and floral/roasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/piney hops and roast/bready malt flavors; with a great bitterness/sweetness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth and moderately creamy/sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a damn nice black IPA style. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/piney hops and roast/bready malt flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink. A very enjoyable offering.
