Bière dégustée avec Graham. Pour un porter, cet Aro Noir est bien houblonné et s'apparente plutôt à une Black IPA. Et si on considère cette bière comme telle, elle est plutôt réussie avec une belle amertume sur les agrumes provenant du Columbus et du Summit qui sont les 2 houblons de cette Garage Project. Le visuel est sur un noir total et une jolie mousse brune de 5 mm s'estompant rapidement. Le nez ne présente pas énormément d'arômes torréfiés avec un peu de chocolat et de noisette mais où les arômes d'agrumes sont finalement plus présents. En bouche, c'est donc le niveau d'amertume qui surprend. L'attaque laisse percevoir davantage de chocolat avec un léger café et réglisse. Les agrumes sont cependant toujours aussi présents. La deuxième bouche est sur une bonne présence avec un alcool à 7% efficace. L'arrière bouche est un peu plus sur le café et le final, d'une bonne longueur laisse un peu plus s'exprimer le café. La corpulence n'est quant à elle pas extraordinaire. Pour une black IPA, pas mal et agréable.

13/11/2022. Can bought at The Oak Barrel, Sydney shared in Noumea. Pours hazed dark brown with a lasting frothy beige head. Aroma of chocolate, citrus, hops, dark fruits, caramel, vanilla. Medium sweetness and light roasted bitterness. Medium body, slightly watery, average carbonation. Easy drinking stout. BIPA elements. Liked it.

Backlog November 2017. Clear, deep amber, almost black body under a nice, dense, beige head. Aroma has dark malt with a hint of licorice. Taste is sweet, smooth, dark malt, some pine and hint of chocolate. Fine body and same aftertaste.

Aromas of milk, dark bitter chocolate, coffee and grapefruit. The chocolate and hops are prominent in the mouth, together with spice, cherry and burnt toast, which is what I am left with at the end. Starts strongly, ends poorly.

330ml can bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Lacing rings down the glass from a slowly diminishing, frothy fawn-coloured head. Near-black in the glass. Inviting aroma of roasted malts and spruce, mid-sweet. Interesting blended taste character of liquorice, citrus peels, and a backdrop of pine needles. Roasted bitterness to the ending. Well bodied. Decent Halloween drink. (Tromsø 31.10.2018).

330ml can into schooner glass. It's dark dark brown with a pitted tan-coloured head. Some lacing. Nose is chocolate, cocoa, dark fruit, and a hint of vanilla essence. Bitter cocoa taste which increases towards the finish. Then the coffee takes over but the finish is fairly short. I like the dry alcohol bitterness of this stout, interesting.

Bottle at a tasting. Quite overcarbonated, but otherwise a fine stout, even though not the most soft nor compex nor delicious one. Classic roast character is present, with no considerable off notes. Medium-low body, very light roast-derived astringency. Good one.

From a 330ml bottle on 22/1/2017 (shared with Butz). Pours close to black with a small head. The nose is mild, sweet chocolate with a hint of roasted malt. Tatse wise, there’s ore chocolate (dark), a bit of dark. tangy fruit, and a firm roasty bitterness. Fullish body with moderate to average carbonation. A very enjoyable, tasty stout.
