Cascade and Columbus Hops present fresh pine and citrus characteristics, combined with the coffee and liquorice tones from our blend of roasted malts. For us, it’s all the things a Black IPA should be.

Sample from tap, CBF 2014. Pitch black with a big, fluffy tanned head. Roasted aroma with citrus, caramel, red berries and herbal hops. A good amount of hops in this one. Rich coffee notes. Taste is bitter. Medium body with a creamy texture and a near flat carbonation. Finishes dry and roasted with citrus and a herbal bitterness. More Porter than IPA - excellent B-IPA.

Bottle at Olstugan, Andra Lang. Poured mahogany with a frothy long lasting light tan head. The aroma is grassy hop pine needle. The flavour is medium bitter with a lovely smooth medium grass nettle spice roasted malt palate with a long grassy bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation. A superb black IPA. Could drink this all night long.

Draft. A black beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of citrusy hops and roasted malt, but quite subdued. The flavor is sweet with notes of citrusy hops, roasted malt, and a bit of tar, leading to a bitter finish.

Towering greige head, slowly collapsing over near-black opaque red-brown beer. End of bottle solid yeast. Ultra-dry hops’ nose, dry hopbales, Hessian sacks, but definitely appetizing. Hint at astringency, already in the nose. Again ultra-dry-bitter-hoppy, with an outspoken bitter-metallic finish, long lasting. Hint at liquorice without sweetness quinine. Warming up, roasted barley. Chewy, very slick to viscous, without being really full-bodied. Hopbitter overdose. Pity.

Almost opaque dark brown - black beer. Small pale tan head. Light fine carbonation. Smooth dark malts with light touches of dark chocolate and coffee. Nice balanced hops - mellow pine, a little citrus and a pinch of hops spice. A little dark malt cream develops before the semi dry finish then a brief flash of tropical fruits. Tasty and well balanced black IPA. Lots going on and very drinkable.
