"Combines the best of two worlds: the sweet aftertaste of a dark beer with the high hops and light finish of an IPA."

Bottle from Stanislaus Brewskovitch Craft Beer Store, Zwolle. Aroma is dark malt, caramel, soft old hops, notes of berries, some yeast, light candy, hint of diacetyl. Flavour is fairly sweet with a medium bitterness. Body is medium. Not a Black IPA, no roast or exotic fruits, it's more like a hoppy Belgian Brown Ale. Anyway, unremarkable but drinkable fare.

hazy amber colour, large, creamy beige-ish ecru head, which lasts for several minutes; aroma of pine resiny, marmalade, grapefruity, some apricot jam and toffee notes; taste is the same with moderate roasted nutty notes; well, rather like a hoppy classical IPA than a black IPA, but anyway, it is really great!

Bottle 33cl. present from P&E @home poured into a shaker. Clear deep amber colour, tall fluffy frothy off-white to beige head, dissipating slowly and unevenly, heavy lacing. Aroma sweet and slightly roasted malts, caramel, citrus, red apples, plum, liquorice. Taste medium sweet and bitter, malty, toffee, apple marmalade, orange peel, herbal notes. Medium body, oily to creamy texture, average carbonation, dry sweetbitter aftertaste, roasty, malty and earthy notes, not completely convincing as a dark IPA and more an amber ale, nice.
