Bottle from a local bottle shop. Aroma is roasted malt with cocoa, chocolate, coffee, some bittering hops, not really fruity, notes of ash, light flowery. Flavour is mildly sweet with a moderate to medium bitterness and a slight dryness in the finish. Body is light to medium. Not much of a Black IPA, lacks fruity hops, but it's a fine Stout.

Аромат странный для вит эля, но при этом неплохой по сути. Много дрожжей, что сразу отдает на классическую пшеничку. Цвет ни такой уж и плотный, лишь наполовину мутный, пенка средняя. На вкус тоже больше походит на пшеничку чем на обычный эль, но немного странный. Хмеля больше чем обычно, но при этом очень много дрожжей. Сама пшеничка хорошо ощущается, бананы немного гнилые но есть. Послевкусие жирное весьма, но снова перебор с дрожжами. В целом неплохой, что то и в правду между пшеничным элем и пшеничкой.

Bottle (from Ales by Mail). Deep brown colour with a mediumsized beige foamy head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is toffee, some toast, caramel, citrus and mild chocolaty tones. Flavour is chocolate, some toffee, mild toasted tones with citrus and some mild tropical fruity tones. Quite thin palate.
