Black IPA – dark beer with a great punch of piney hops in the nose, a well-inserted bitterness, and a light chocolate finish.

Black with thick creamy head. Aroma is very piney and resinous. The flavour is similar but with added roasted dark malt bitterness. Very flavoursome.

6/V/17 - 33cl bottles from Geers (Oostakker) @ Abeels visiting (home) - BB: XII/2018 (2017-581) Thanks to all for sharing the beers!
Clear dark brown to black beer, creamy solid beige irregular head, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: pretty roasted, some chlorine, hoppy, fruity touch, some sweet malts. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: soft roast, malty, some caramel, very hoppy, bitter, more roast. Aftertaste: resinous, grapefruit, very bitter, roasted, very hoppy, nice, some tropical fruit, still that bit of chlorine. Weird. Could've been a 4.4/5 without that chlorine touch...

Pitch black, small thick creamy tan head, receding slowly to a thin layer, light lacing. Aroma roasted malt, cocoa, liquorice, dark fruits. Flavour medium sweet and bitter, malty, roasty, burnt caramel, fruity notes. In the middle part prevails a malty bitterness, leading towards a bittersweet aftertaste, chocolate, spices, earthy notes. Full-bodied, creamy texture, average carbonation, round and rich BIPA, very good.

Aroma humle, sitrus, blåbær, malt. Utseende svart med beige skum som varer. Smak kaffe, lakris, humle, mørk sjokolade, røsted malt. En saftig og kraftig øl med bra balanse og bitterhet. Godt øl
