330ml bottle, 8.5 % abv, from Habemus Birra. Huge, bubbly, fawn-coloured head with fine duration and leaving clingy lacing on the glass. Deep black body added by a brownish glint. Mixed nose of roasted malts and sappy citrus, inviting. Roasted malty aroma of dark chocolate nicely blended with red oranges. Lingering malt-fruity bitterness to the ending. Full to medium bodied and a well blended version of the style (hotel room, Alicante 03.06.2016).

At LIBF. Very thick and dense, pale greyish beige head, blackish robe. Aroma of fresh garden weeds and dried nettles, yellow grapefruit peel, bitter chocolate, white pepper, roasted peanuts. Clean fruity taste, hints of elderberry and chestnut with a sourish edge, carbonation on the sharp side for the style, nutty and eventually roasted bittering maltiness with a weedy, spicy, drying hop bitter finish with some citrus peel notes retronasally. Typically one of those new European BIPAs and a very good one at that.

Bottle @ LIBF’16. Shared with the RB Belgian team. Fin brun, col beige. Arôme au nez prenant assez citronné, accompagné d’effluves maltées entre grillé et caramel. Palais garde un profil surtout malté, caramel léger accompagnement citronnée, fruité, vert frais houblonné avec un fini herbacé. Retrouve dans les deux cas, ample dose de tropical qui arrive en bonne balance avec le profil malté. Pas spécialement une Cascadian Dark Ale mais le style à bien évolué.
