Malty chocolate aroma with barely any hoppiness. The taste is slightly sour mostly malt not much hop bitterness. This black IPA focuses too much on the malt & doesn’t have enough bitterness I think... As it warmed up it got better but still not really IPA like more like a well done stout or porter.

lots of molasses, black bread and hops. Well balanced, slightly malt accented.

Bottle at Antenna America. Sweet flavors of licorice, chocolate, orange, cola or root beer. Not much in the nose, kind of industrial soda tasting. Very uninspiring.

Bottle, many thanks to rosenbergh. Dark brown color with small beige head. Roasted malt in aroma, coffee, molasses,dark chocolate. Taste, roasted malt, coffee, dark chocolate. Coffee bitter finish. Almost no hops. This is definitely not Black IPA, but Stout. Despite that, drinkable beer.

Bottled. Deep amber colour, small head. Aroma is caramel, toffee, and some slight fruity and quite thick notes of tar. Flavour is syrup, toffee, mild toffee and roast. Quite pleasant Black IPA without all too much hops.

It pours a deep dark black with a small tan head that lasted for a good full minute. What there is of the lacing is spotty and slides down the glass slowly. The smell is basically roasted coffee beans with a bit of dark chocolate. The hops are very faint in the background. The taste is dominated by the roasted coffee beans with some malts coming back. The palate is about a medium with a decent level of carbonation and is mostly smooth and very creamy. Overall, not a bad beer, I’d probably get this again.

Dobre piwo, i choć pierwszy raz stykam się z gatunkiem BIPA to nie wyczuwam tego chmielu jak w jasnych IPA. Jest palono słodowe i lekko goryczkowe tylko. Koloru czarnej nocy. Przypomina mi to Stouta.

(Bottle, 0.355 l - BBE Jan 20 2013 [the sticker on the bottle tells 20130531 but the printing on the neck tells the earlier date], courtesy of rosenbergh, 20121214) The beer poured deep dark brown and clear. Its head was medium sized and lightly brown. Aroma had malts, chocolate, sweetness and hops. Palate was quite light bodied with medium carbonation. Flavour had roasted malts, sweetness, liquorice, lighlty hop flavours and low bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet, roasty and bitter. Not an IPA and not a stout either; some weird combination of the style not showing any of the good characteristics really.
