Bottle shared at the 2025 Pre-Christmas/NY Zaandam Borrel. Poured almost black in colour, with a thin whispy tan head. The aroma is roasty, chocolate, earthy oaky. The flavour is strong sweet, with a smooth, rich, roasty, dry oaky, warm, boozy, oily, liquorice bitter palate. Full bodied with soft carbonation.
gave a cheers!

Bottle share in Zaandam, thanks Chris! Pitch black body and a brown head that quickly disappears. Geur is boozy, bijna teveel. Retronasaal: zoet, fruit, alcohol. Smaak is zoet, chocola, geroosterde mout, beetje houtskool. Volle body. Zachte koolzuur. Lange afdronk, geroosterd, iets bitter.
gave a cheers!

3$ can from vintage. Virtually clear with a fading fluffy white head. Nose is perfume sweet pine. First taste is unmistakably heavy isomerized alpha acid bitter nasty bite from boiling hop cones, blah. Unrefined battering bittering biting harshness. Pungent sharp rude stickiness on the back of yer throat like a phenolic vagabond. Wet soaking pinewood in pine tar sap and turpentine. Bad and ill-mannered impolite discourteousness. Impertinent insolent impudent and cheeky. fricken audacious. A terribly on style bastard of an IPA, will somebody please get me an ice cold Rodenbach as a chaser? There, you have it; just another one in a brahzilluon IPA out there that all practically taste the same, repulsive and revolting.
