Creamy-coloured, medium head, stable over fully opaque dark brown beer. Inviting dry hops' nose, dry hopbales, bananapeel, dry grains & straw, herbs. Dry hops, more Hessian sacks, active coal, ashes, roast. Ultra dry, taste and feel. Burnt finish, slowly fading. Warming up, hint of human sweat. Medium bodied at best; good carbonation, slick. Another excellent BIPA. 8/4/8/4/15

Bottle. Color: Almost black, beige head. Taste: A lot of floral hops, directly followed by dark roasted malt and hints of chocolate. Hopbitter mouthfeel at finish with hints of orange. Medium body, below average carbonation. A very nice black IPA.

Bottle @ home. Black with a large light brown head. Smells hops, roasty, dark malts. Tastes harsh bitter, roasty, dark malts, chocolate, hops. The bitter is too much in your face for me. Medium body, nice carbo.

33cl. bottle @ home, gift from Alex and Susanne. Black with a beige head. Roasted malts aroma with hops. Bittersweet taste. Quite alike to my homebrewn black IPA, so I guess I really like this style.

Bottle @ home. Opaque dark brown to black color with a full sized beige to light brown head. Aroma is very promising: a nice mix of malts dark mlts, slight roast and nice hoppy influence. Taste malts, dark malts, roasted malts, nicely hoppy. Now that it warms up though there’s a sort of rough smokyness coming through that annoys me a bit. Malty bitter. Turns out it’s less good in the end than I had hoped upon opening it. Started out quite nice but in the end it’s less good imo.

Bottle from Mitra Bunnik, batch 17012 BB April 2018, 33 cl sample. Dark brown color, medium frothy head. Aroma of dark fruit, piney hops and a bit of dark bread. Medium bitterness in taste, piney and fruity at first. In the finish more dry and grainy biscuit. Plenty going on here. Very tasty, also considering the ABV. Velvety texture. One of the better Hommeles brews!
