Bottle on the 1401 TGV from Lille to Strasbourg, picked up from The Ministry Of Beer Lille, 04/10/2025.
black with a good sized khaki covering that thins to a swirl.
Nose is rich roast, cocoa powder, pine needle, raisins, dried fruit esters, light charr.
Taste comprises liquorice, charr, roasted bite, cola cube, tropical fruit back notes.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with earthy come dusty hop bitterness.
Could have been a cracker but the light soapy notes detract from it a little. They did wear off as a I continued to drink so score upped from 7.3 to 7.4

330ml bottle from a Christmas Gift set from the In-laws. Pours pitch black, unclear with a perfectly sized large white head. Aroma of pine, dark malt, ash. Flavour profile continues in a similar fashion, great flavoursome depth, prominent pine, dusty dark malt, looks great in the glass too. Very satisfying Black IPA.

Bière pression bue au Loc'Ale à Lille. Petite amertume, belle robe presque noire, saveur douce maltée et peu levurée qui rappelle plutôt une lager qu'une Ale, désaltérante mais a réserver aux amateurs de bières légères plutôt qu'aux fans d'IPA corsées. (M)
