Again, huge thanks to RenoMostar and the guys at the brewery for this! Would you look at that - most ex-Yu brewers don’t dare to put a regular Black IPA out, and Oldbridž starts with a rye twist on that - daring, and that’s to be respected - hats off! Murky dark brown body, creamy small tan head. A bit lactic, caramelly nose, some raisins, mixed with subtle notes of aroma hops, some mild alcohol too. Quite roasty, notes of coffee I reckon, creamy, dark malts, some orange-like aromatics blending in. Very interesting stuff happening here, but it’s too subdued unfortunately. You just can’t tell it’s 8.5%, another plus. I hope people like it there so that they can safely introduce more experiments! Rerate: The other bottle gave out a much stronger, enormously citric hopiness in both aroma and taste that overwhelmed the rest. Quite pleasant & +1 overall & aroma.
