Can [from Euro Secret Summer Santa thanks to VastActiv] @ home. Opaque dark brown to black color with a full sized dense beige head that lasts for a decent while and leaves good lacing. Aroma is malts, hops, dark malts. Taste malts, soft roast, hops, plenty of hops, hop and roasted malt bitter. Medium body and carbonation. Good black IPA imo!

Tummanruskea olut vaahtoaa melko kevyesti jättäen kuitenkin kivasti pitsiä. Tuoksu tumman maltainen ja appelsiininen. Maussa kevyttää katkeraa greippisyyttä. Oikein toimiva tumman maltaisuuden ja kevyen greippisyyden yhdistelmä.

Draught @SOPP Helsinki 2016. Very dark brown, light brown head. Smell of hops. Aroma of hops, roasted malt, spruce. Strong but soft carbon. Dry palate. Quite light body. Taste is IPA, not so much black IPA.

On tap at Craft Beer Helsinki 2016. Very dark brown, close to black, with a modest off-white head. Fairly hoppy aroma, milder roasty notes, some pine and hints of citrus. Moderate to medium sweet with fairly nice mixture of hoppy and roasty flavours, but the hoppy side seems to be dominating. Finishes fairly bitter. Quite nice, but still not standing out from the masses.

Draught @ William K Tennispalatsi. Aroma is surprisingly fruity with some licorice tones. Flavour has lots of tropical fruits and some licorice. Finishes ashy. Foamy palate. A black IPA on the fruity side.

Jet black with thin creamy head. Aroma and flavour are strong with resinous, piney hops. Very bitter. Has slight yeasty funk too.
