Tasting at Matt’s
Black color, small head. The aroma is mild, with phenol. Good body strength, the mouthfeel is on the dry side; strong roasted malt flavor, a bit of chocolate, a hint of coffee, but also some chemical, phenol; the alcohol is a bit too evident; the hops are more visible in the final, and they carry resiny quality.
Good, but imprecise.

22 oz. bottle, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma is lovely, with loads of piney hops and roasted malt in great balance. Flavour is likewise wonderfully balanced, with piney hops and caramel roasted malt. There is a bit of diacetyl in here that I didn't get initially, but it's masked decently by everything else. Quite good despite the flaws.

On tap at Populuxe, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Nose is robust, full of piney and spicy hops, with a dry earthy malt backing. Flavour is well-balanced, with earthy and piney hops, some light spiciness, and just enough bready malt to back. Very well-crafted, finishing dry, spicy and piney. Excellent.

On tap at Populuxe, pours a hazy dark amber orange with a large beige head. Nose is very spicy, with weird herbal notes and light fruitiness. Flavour is full of stone fruits, followed by herbal spicy notes. Quite soft on the palate, with a good balance. Solid stuff.
