Pours clear, darker blonde ( I truly expected a black beer, given the name) . Small white, medium stable white head. Scent is honey ( mild oxitation) , cloves-like spices. Taste is reasonable. Given it's a bit aged ( 2016 bottle ) , it picked up some honey-like oxidation, but no cardboard. fairly refreshing, still, even. Mild bitterness, likely a pretty bitter beer when fresh . Enjoyable, to my surprise, yet very different than the 'black winterbeer' i was expecting. Maltyness has the upperhand now. If I would have known, I would have drank it sooner, I supose hop played a bigger part in this than I anticipated.

Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 30A / 25B-super). Bottle 33 cl - Batch C 1117 (BBF 03/2018). AROMA: moderate citrus aroma with a strong orange-like emphasys. slight spicy note from alcohol. cardamom very faint. medium low malty-sweet background with a neutral presence. APPEARANCE: pale gold color and cristal clear. medium-low white head with low retention. TASTE: similar to the aroma with medium orange-like notes and some peppery phenols from yeast. medium-low malty background with a neutral character. medium-low bitterness with a dry and somewhat bitter finish. PALATE: medium body with low carbonation. smooth low alcohol warmth. OVERALL: a saison-like beer with cardamom that is very faint but with nice style characteristics.
