Bottle thnx to Jan and Charlotte themselves ! Thnx ! Pours very muddy brown, the beer indeed looks awefull. Not sure this is the exact product of using dark malts + yeast that doesn't floculate, or rather a product of added murkyness? Any option it is though, the beer indeed doesn't look very good. Small darker head that has a short life, not too much lacing. Smell is brightly hoppy (still) showing notes of citrus, mild resins, brown malts (earthy, faded chocolate). Taste is bitter, over a citrussy, bit tropical back. The brown malts here give it an astigent, plastic-like side character that's not very enjoyable. A total experience is a bit off by this factor, as the beer enters the palate very clinical, and rough. It's got nothing I would associate with the name 'Vermont' (AKA New England style) so I wonder why this beer is called Vermont style? Perhaps due to the murkyness ( like I said, not sure if this is even a natural murkyness) Overall, the beer isn't plain bad at all, but it just doesn't work well all together,

330ml bottle. Pours murky dark brown with a lot of sediment, beige head. Aroma of citrus, tropical fruits, dank. Taste of light sweet juicy tropical fruits, citrus, a hint of caramel, little to no roast/malt character makes it feel a little unbalanced, dank moderately bitter finish. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation (perhaps a touch over-carbed). A very tasty Black NEIPA, if a little unbalanced.

07-02-18 // 330ml bottle. Purchased at BeerLovers Craft Beer Store. Congratulations Jan! Murky Spezi-like brown beer with bubbly head. Toasted malty, mild roasted. Lemon zest and woody moss hop aroma. Easy drinking but not special, expected a bit more, especially on the roasted mlalt side.

Bottle at home from DeBierkonig, Amsterdam, 20th January 18. Pours a murky dark brown, not great. Aroma is juicy fruit, tropical and cocoa, dark chocolate. Taste is sweet and juicy like a NEIPA, then cocoa, some bitterness. Great take on a BIPA, unique as far as I have experienced.

Bottle at Arendnest, shared by Goedele. Apparently an attempt (and the first one I encounter, now that I come to think of it) to create a dark counterpart for the current NEIPA craze, curious how this will work out... Medium, pale greyish beige, quickly opening head lacing in patches, over a murky dark chestnut brown beer - not completely black, and looking like very dark mud with the sediment added. Lovely aroma though: maracuja, mango, orange peel, caramel candy, cashewnuts, lime peel, grape juice, sweet onions. Fruity onset, orange and passionfruit notes, guava, sourish hint, vivid but (fortunately) finely tingling carbonation; doughy, creamy, sweet 'brown' malt body, caramelly and 'soggy bready', about the mouthfeel you'd expect from a NEIPA but lacking in the toasty bitterness a typical BIPA would contain. Ends very aromatic, pink grapefruit, mango, passionfruit, pomegranate - a basket of hoppy fruitiness, adding only very soft bitterness on the tongue and followed by a weak glow of otherwise very well-masked alcohol. I'd call this a brown NEIPA rather than a black one, but the idea is appealing and admittedly well-executed, even if it looks like mud mixed with chocolate milk...
