(Keg at Bruuveri, 20150305) The beer poured black. Its head was medium sized and nearly white. Aroma had pine, resin and liquorice. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were pine, resin, fruitiness, burnt malts, liquorice, sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy, burnt and bitter. As a surprise to me this beer was pleasing despite the strong burntness in the taste. Well done.

Draught @ Brewpub

Pours pitch black with a smooth brown head. Aroma of roasty malts, licorice, ripe fruits, grassy hops, hints of funky yeastiness. Taste is roasty, hoppy and bitter with some licorice, grass, ripe fruits and mild hints of earthy farmyard notes. Finish is roasty, hoppy and bitter with some hints of grass and ripe fruits. A bitter and roasty black IPA with a touch of Belgian notes. Nice.

Draught @ the brewpub. Aroma has licorice, piney tones and grapefruit. Flavour has strong ash tones, salty licorice, grapefruit, some tobacco and deep roastiness. The farmhouse aromas are more mellow than in the Lumiére version, but I can observe them in the finish. A farmhouse black IPA - haven´t seen many of these. Aroma was typical to BIPA but flavour is more on the stout side. Hops are definitely present on both sides though.
