Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a large dark brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of sweet black cholate notes with some coconut and lactose and faint banana notes are also perceptible. Taste is a mix of sweet fudge notes with some coconut notes with some residual sugar, vanilla and faint banana notes also perceptible. Body is full with oily like texture and creamy body with some good carbonation and no apparent alcohol notes. Solid pastry stout that is quite rich but keep solid drinkability.

(473ml can from Luc, thanks!) Pours very hazy yellow-gold with a small white head and traces of lace. Aroma is punchy pineapple, mangosteen, rose apple, grapefruit, tropical perfumed flowers, spicy musky weed, grass, underlying sweet bready cereals. Flavour is moderately sweet for style up front, floral tropical fruit, pineapple, rambutan, bright red grapes, aggressive fruit rinds and grapefruit zest, very saturated, with soft bready cereal core, becoming somewhat dry towards the finish with slightly underripe pineapple and lots of floral/red fruit notes, peppery cannabis, some herbs and grass, relatively light bitterness and hop burn with some lingering sweet fruit. Medium-plus body, oily to creamy with soft carbonation and no real hint of the ABV. A unique hop profile, not totally sure how to tease Nectaron from Galaxy here but this drinks like a Galaxy banger in the best way. One of my favourite hops when it is in a certain zone, and it is here...fruity, floral, slightly dank. BdBC is doing some of the best TIPAs I've ever had, not too boozy or sweet but super-saturated with hops.

(473ml can from Luc, thanks!) Aroma conveys a delightly floral hop profile with passionfruit, lychee, red berries, melon, pink grapefruit, fresh grass and light dank weed bursting out of the nose. Flavour along similar lines, with nice dry cereals giving a canvas for floral tropical fruit, mango/stone fruit juiciness, light melon, berry sweetness with a suggestion of acidity, good clean grassy earthy dank balance mid sip onwards, light cereal presence into the bone dry finish which is quite grapefruity with tropical florals and grass persisting and a light bitterness for balance. Medium plus body, oily, fairly soft smooth carbonation. Excellent hop blend here, and well-brewed by BdBC to create a balanced and complex DIPA. Great one!
