Tap. Opaque brown color with red highlights. Aroma is strawberries. Taste is strawberries, chocolate, milky yeasts, earthy, some roasted malts. Silky mouthfeel, medium carbonation. Not bad!

23/IX/17 - on tap @ Borefts Bierfestival 2017 (Bodegraven) - BB: n/a (2017-1686) Thanks to ratebeerians and friends for sharing today's beers!
Clear dark brown to almost black beer, big creamy beige head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: sweetish, roasted, caramel, bit dirty, yeasty. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very roasted, bitter, sweet touch, some chocolate, hoppy. Aftertaste: very bitter, dry, hoppy finish. Lacking some aroma hops, if you ask me...

Tap at Molto. Shiga Kogen iba harvest brew 7% 75 IBU A lovely brown with a thick tan head and a vibrantly fresh hop bouquet featuring herbs and green pine boughs. The taste is bitter pine up front then chocolatey dark malts. I find this series on tap stellar but for some reason in bottles they don't really do it for me.

Very heady nose with tons of chocolate cake, big dark chocolate tons of weed in the mouth. Full body. Big flavors all around. Big roasted malt, citrus and weed in the finish. Excellent

Pours dark brown, nice beige froth. Aroma has some burnt rye bread, sweet freshly baked black bread crust and also a bit of hop sensation to complete it. Taste feels smooth, really easy drinking. In fact, I find myself finishing this too fast. Sweet malt body supports nicely balanced roasty and hoppy black IPA. Bitter cocoa and black chocolate coupled with burnt black bread also in the taste. Linger comes mainly from roastyness, long and bitter.

Harvest Brew version bottled version from Tanakaya which uses freshly picked hops. Pours a deep coffee brown with a small, thin head that dissipates fairly quickly. Weed all over the nose. It smells like a blunt, wow. Seriously a marijuana bomb on the nose with some roasted malt and pine notes as well. Taste is more of the same, big, dank weed-like grassiness. A little wasabi and daikon pepperiness on the finish. Another excellent beer from Shiga Kogen. --- Beer merged from original tick of India "Black" Ale Harvest Brew on 09 Sep 2015 at 21:23 - Score: 8
