Bottle, 22oz, at TFODRBSG 2012. A big, dense, light beige head forms over a more or less black body. Roasted nose with citrus peel and some mocha. Pine cones. A bit effervescent, full bodied. Quite dryish, yet with a pleasant sweetness. Pine cones, resins and grapefruit peel notes. Mocha, roasted malts and dark chocolate in the flavor, bitterness stretching far. A rather lovely one. Way too carbonated, but it’s still nice as hell. 120818

Bottle at Craft Beer Co Brighton. It pours jet black, with a thick beige head. The nose is roasty, pine, liquorice, fresh hop, toast and underlying sweetness. The taste is roasted malt, resin, pine, roasted malt, liquorice, charcoal, bitterness and toast, with a bitter, roasty finish. Good balance. Flavoursome stuff.

Weich hopfiger Beginn mit trockenen und dunklen Malznoten. Dabei bereits zu Beginn recht bitter, was im Mittelteil aber nochmal deutlich gesteigert wird. Hier also vor allem trocken bitter, die aromatischen Hopfennoten können nicht mithalten und landen im Hintergrund. Herb-malziger Ausklang, in dem die Bitterkeit noch einmal zuschlägt. 11/11/8/10/12/13/11

650ml bottle. Darkest brown with huge firm frothy lacing tan head. Citrussy and minimally grassy hop aroma with roasty malt notes in the background, also some coffee. Taste has a roasty malt basis with explicit coffee notes, citrussy hop overtones, conjoining to a spicy, peppery ensemble with a touch of shallot, onion and carrot; dry to bitter hoppy and roasty finish.

65 cl bottle @ home, bottled on 03.11.2012
Loud sound when opening the cap and lots of foaming when pouring – even though I tried to be careful. Aroma is rather nice with roastiness, some resin, coffee and biscuits. Flavour has resin, hops, pine needles, some roastiness and licorice. Ashy and somewhat sticky finish. Not bad, but usually beers in this style are better.

Tap at the Copenhagen Beer Celebration 2012. Pours dark brown with a rich, tan foam head. Moderately roasty aroma with some dusty, piney hops and grapefruit. Nice and roasty flavor, good bitter cocoa, medium sweet, notes of grapefruit. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Bitter and robust roasted malt finish with nice, moderately sweet cocoa and resinous pine. A very solid black IPA, start to finish.
