Zwart bier met mooi creme kleurig schuim wat helaas snel wegzakt. Smaak is zoet en krachtig warm met veel chocolade, wat koffie, karamel en een vleug rode bessen en kersen.

330ml can. Slightly hazy orange with a big white head lasting forever. Aroma of caramel, orange, grapefruit, resin. Taste follows suit, orange and grapefruit hoppiness, chewy malts, caramel, pine, strong resinous finish with some good bitterness. Medium-full bodied. Nice old school DIPA.
The BBD of October 2026 near the "Hops Fade Fast" logo is outrageous. Who is keeping hoppy IPAs for 14 months after canning!?

Can. Near clear deep amber - brown beer, small bubbly pale tan head. Light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin bodied malts, some light creamy sweetness, mildly tangy caramel. Estery bourbon soaked ripe fruits. A mild alcohol spice on the light and semi dry finish. Certainly rich enough for me, smoothness, not so much. Might taste better in a decade.

Stond al een tijdje in de kast. Schenkt gewoon zwart zoals het hoort, met een kleine bruine kraag. Geur van port, donker/gedroogd fruit, gebrande suiker, umami. In de mond is het heel anders, hout, tannines, zurig fruit, iets alcohol. Smaak is zoetig met een fruit(?)zuurtje. Medium body. Niet te lange afdronk, iets houtig en geroosterd. Wordt wel lekkerder naarmate de fles leger raakt...

0.33 l can from the brewery's web shop, best before October 2030. Pitch black with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, light brown head Sweetish-malty, gently roasty and a little fruity aroma of chocolate, caramel, coffee, vanilla, toasted hazelnut and light fruity whisky. Fairly sweet, malty, quite roasty-bitter, slightly fruity taste of chocolate, coffee, roasted hazelnut, vanilla, caramel and some fruity whisky, followed by a medium long, quite roasty-bitter finish. Almost full body, smooth and slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Really tasty, well-balanced variant with relatively subtle barrel notes.

Kees #400: 0.33 l can from the brewery's web shop, best before October 2030. Pitch black with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, light brown head. Intensely sweetish-malty, gently roasty and a little fruity aroma of chocolate, caramel, toasted hazelnut, vanilla, some whisky and traces of dark fruits. Heavily sweet, malty, quite roasty-bitter, slightly smoky-medicinal and a little fruity taste of chocolate, coffee, caramel, licorice, roasted hazelnut, vanilla, whisky, some smoke and traces of dark fruits, followed by a long, quite roasty-bitter, a bit boozy finish.
