Our ninth Proto beer is a Black IPA, which receives its full, yet soft body from the oats and wheats in our own fields. A generous dose of Mosaic- and Columbus hops then sets the foundations for a citrusy aroma and a bitter after taste.

A colablack beer, a head is small and beige. Aroma is very aromatic, tropical fruits, lychee, some liquirice. More black notes when the beer is warmer. Taste has gooseberries, dry roastiness, liquirice. The bitterness is slightly tight and herbal and not so aromatic as the expectations from aroma promises. Medium bodied. The great aroma, but the taste isn’t the same level. Anyway, good and tasteful beer.

Draught @ Black Door, Helsinki
Pours pitch black with a smooth light brown head. Aroma of roasty malts, licorice, pine, hints of herbal hops, grass and chocolate. Taste is smooth, fruity and piney with some roastiness, herbal and grassy hops, citrus and hints of licorice. Finish is smooth, hoppy and slightly roasty with some hints of pine and licorice. Pretty smooth and easy going black IPA. Could be a bit more aggressive for my taste, but this is quite quaffable. --- Beer merged from original tick of Proto #9 on 14 Sep 2015 at 17:21 - Score: 8
