When your friend sells you out to the Empire in a floating city in the sky...you might end up Black & Blue as well....even if they don’t ask you any questions!
After maturing for over 2 years and with luxurious chocolate to the fore, hints of vanilla and coffee, soft blueberry and a tart hit of blackcurrant, you must be careful.
Too many and you might agree with Han....”I feel terrible...”

11/XI/23 - on tap @ Billies Craft Beer Festival (Antwerp), Day 2 - part 2, BB: n/a, (2023-1019) Thanks to Sebletitje, ElManana, 77ships, Eve and others for sharing today’s beers!
Clear black beer, creamy beige head, unstable, a bit adhesive. Aroma: good deep roast, cocoa powder, a bit malty, some caramel. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: very sweet, a bit sourish, hoppy, dry, some dried fruits, chocolate. Aftertaste: lots of alcohol, sugary, a bit chemical, cola, weird acidity, a bit messy.
