26/10/2019. Bottle courtesy of MarkoNm. Pours murky amber brown with a small off-white head. Aroma of hop, biscuit, fruit, vanilla, caramel, flowers and malt. Moderate sweetness, medium plus bitterness. Medium body, slight oily texture, soft carbonation. Bitter finish. Decent aroma but only ok overall.

0,5 l bottle. Pours murky ochre orange with a finger of quickly dissipating off white head. Plenty of orange and lemon parts floating around. Aroma is ginger, some orange, hard to distinguish hop notes, malt can be sensed deep under citrus notes. Ginger is overpowering. Flavor follows aroma, overpowering ginger spiciness shadows everything else. Taste is light sweet and light to medium bitter. Body is light and refreshing, mouthfeel slick and carbonation lively. Finish is medium long, ginger spiciness dominates again. Nice try at creating refreshing beer, but way too much ginger for my taste.

Bottle, 0.50l. Aroma of ripe tropical fruit, roasted malt, chocolate and coffee. Pours murky dark brown color with thin creamy light brown head and sparkling appearance. Tastes refreshing fruity, roasted and caramelly with smooth mouthfeel and mild bitter finish. Medium body, slick texture and soft carbonation in palate. It’s a gusher...

Pours hazy, fiery orange-golden, topped with foamy white head, not lasting. Very pleasantcitrusy notes of orange with overpowering ginger spiciness - together they leave a very fresh feeling. Gentle gingery spiciness in the taste, medium bitterness with some citruses. Gentler aftertaste, lasting. Medium light bodied - promising, though a bit too gingery for me. It covers hoppy characteristics of the beer a bit too much. Still nicely drinkable.

Pours pitch black, topped with large though very nonlasting soapy head, beige. Moderate hoppy aroma with tropical fruits, some milder chocolate notes in teh back, a bit of vanilla as well. Moderate bitterness, slight blackcurrant and a bit roastiy in the finish, but hardly. Lasting aftertaste. Lighter body. A gentler take on the style, actually Black IPA oon the look and on the nose, but more of an IPA on the tongue. Also, not much oat meal creaminess. Still drinkable, though expected more.

Bottle, 0.50l. Aroma of caramel, berries and dried fruit. Cloudy amber brown color with medium soapy tan-like head and sparkling appearance. Taste starts with light sweet caramel, follows by dried fruits and yeast with metallic and earthy note, while finish is mild to medium bitter. Medium body, creamy texture and average carbonation in palate. Nice looking label and historic appeal, however beer is quite mediocre...
