33cl bottle. Pre Tuska tasting. Deep amber, unclear, thin white head. Grapefruit, pine, caramel in aroma. Flavor has caramel, grapefruit, pine. Sweet, malty. Herbal finish. Too sweet and alcohol coming through too much. The raw hoppy finish is quite nice.

Bottle @ ZEBF 2015. Aroma of mostly peat, some smoke and a little roast. The peat is quite dominant in the taste as well, combined with some roasted coffee, bitters and smoke. Good, but a bit unbalanced.

33cl bottle from Firmabier. Pours black in color with a mocha head. Grassy aroma, cocoa, licorice notes. Flavor has dark chocolate, a lot of it actually, roasted malt, ashy notes. Hoppy, black IPAish. Awesome flavor, not so much the aroma perhaps. Grows on you as it warms up. Solid. Could be fuller, feels a bit thin.

Bottle. Dark brown color, brown head. Aroma of passion fruit, brown malt, chocolate and cream. Taste is quite bitter, with passion fruit, licorice, some pine and a dry bitter finish. More a black ipa than a porter. Nice beer.

33 cl bottle @ Bierlokaal Koffen, Groningen Aroma has nettles, hayish tones and licorice - quite typical BIPA tones. Flavour has salty licorice, some hoppy notes, nettles and some ash. Also some oaty and cocoa tones at the ed of the glass. Finishes a bit leathery. I like the licorice tones here - and the hops are not as aggressive as I feared they would be. Actually they blend in quite nicely.

Black, thick and oily. Roasted malt aroma with a hint of coffee. Quite strong and bitter tasting with a thick, sticky texture. Warming finish from the alcohol.

Bottle sampled at ZEBF ’15. Pours near black with a ring bubble brown head. Aroma of massive peat, oak, dark chocolate, roast and coffee. Flavour is light heavy sweet and bitter with a massive boozy peat palate. Medium to full bodied with soft carbonation. Decent but the barrel is really overpowering.

Bottle @ benzai. Brown colour with a small beige head. Smells chocolate, roasty, moccha, sweet, nice. Tastes coffee, roasty, sweet, moccha and a hint of tobacco. Only 3.5% abv and still an almost medium body. This beer is severely underrated imo. Medium body, soft carbo, nice.
