Pours black with an average sized off-white/yellowish head. Decent retention and not much lacing. Not too intense but clean aroma: dark bread/bread crust base, slight ryeish/crispy spiciness, some citric (mostly cedar) and balsamic notes in the background. Taste notes follow the aroma closely, with decent intensity and nice cleanliness. Medium sweetness and medium to high bitterness; nicely balanced in the mouth, with a nicely dry, clean bitter finish. Medium body with average carbonation, rather smooth/soft in the mouth (probably thanks to the wheat malt %) but excellently dry and refreshing in the finish. Well made black ipa.

Blond colour with light haze and fluffy head. Aroma and flavour have plenty of candy sweetness. A dry hoppiness grows and grows giving a nice balance.

Bottle split at L6, thanks to The Wingman, 13/06/18. Murky chestnut brown with a decent beige cap. Nose is stewed fruits, light spice, hint of plastic, charr. Taste comprises dried fruits, mellow roast, toffee, faint liquorice, hint of pine. Medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, drying close. So so ... way over carbed which knocks this one down a few notches.
