This 5.2% black IPA burns the line between an American IPA and a stout, with malt and hops firing on all cylinders, in psychotic synchronicity. Roasty, chocolate and coffee notes duke it out with citrus, mango and pine. Pithy bitterness plays off roasty dryness. Light bodied, but with the intensity of a beer twice its size.
Hopped with Simcoe, Amarillo and Citra, Arcade Nation showcases the incredible complexity of three of our all-time favourite hops. The twisting flavours change so fast, you’ll need the reactions of a hardened retro gamer to keep up with them.

Bottled@Little Pub, Vaasa. Deep ambery brown colour, mediumsized slightly off-white head. Aroma is wood, some berries, fruits and mild toasted notes. Flavour is similar, but also very earthy. Quite dusty aftertaste.

Black color with a fine beige head. Good lacing. Looks great. Nice intensity in the aroma. Medium + body and a fine smooth carbonation. Good balance between sweetness and bitterness. A bit oily texture. Chocolate, grapefruit hoppy, pine, some roast and mellow fruity flavor. Solid stuff.

Pours a pitch black color, topped with a medium sized and nicely stable tan head. Lots of fruity notes upfront, sweet tropical and citrusy feel, lychee, passion. In the back some roasted and coffee notes are present, later on a bit chocolate as well. Moderate bitterness with slightly sweet fruity feel which become more evident later on. Finishing with a gentle roastiness. Medium full body, silky. Like the lower alcohol level, feels more sessionable. Gentle aftertaste. Great.

BOTTLE 33 CL. Almost black with ruby highlights. Beige head. Balanced better Grepfrut and piney hops and roasted malts, light chocolate and ashes. Pretty light bodied yet flavourful. Very nice.

330ml bottle. Jet black appearance almost no light bleeding through, one-two finger tan head. Aroma is predominantly hoppy and citrus with typical stout notes coming through after, coffee, chocolate and roast. Taste is the opposite with the roast, coffee and chocolate notes up front and citrus, fruity, hoppy bitterness in the finish, also a roasty bitterness. Bittersweet overall. Full bodied. Pretty much exactly as described - an American IPA meets a stout. Very good.
