Orange colour with light haze and creamy head. Aroma and flavour have a lot of malty caramel notes like a Barley Wine. In the background floral sweet lemon cake.

Bottle at home, from De Bierkonig, 24th June 18. Been after this furry aquatic critter for some time. Pours a beautiful black beer, with a fine really Lacey rim of head. Aroma is cocoa, slight citrus, sharp, some roasty elements. Taste is bitter, cocoa, citrus rolled in cocoa powder, bitter dark chocolate, grapefruit, loads of layers and a bitter grainy cocoa citrus finish, that last lingers. Delicious BIPA.

Draught @ UBF shared with Caesar and ShivanDragon. Hazy yellow orange color, average sized white head. Smell and taste malts, nice balanced smoke, aroma suggests more smoke but the flavor is really balanced and nicely bitter. Quite good.

Sampled at NSBF Den Bosch. Murky pale yellow color, medium to full sized white head. Smell and taste are heavy citrus but also pretty farty. Not very pleasant at all. Bleh.

Bottle at home. Pours deep dark opaque brown, near black with thin medium tan head. Sweet roasted malts, chocolate, charcoal, black seaweed, soy sauce, ink and a hint of roasted peppers. Over medium sweet with even more bitterness, quite some meaty, chewy, seaweedy umami notes, when warmed up a little sour woody notes come through as well. Medium body and soft carbonation. Very dry and bitter, with just enough sweetness to keep it pleasant. A bit disappointed to read there's actual soy sauce in this beer as an additive, cause that's the most prominent aroma. Probably even the cheapest soy sauce the brewer could get, so I can drink expensive craft beer that tastes of cheap soy sauce. I really don't care for this kind of business. If I wanna down a bucket of Ketjap Manis I'll let you know! In the meantime I'm going to grab some other beer! We're at drainpour level, which means below 2.5 in my book. Can't finish this bottle.

Bottle from Mitra Bunnik, BB 03-2019. Dark color, medium frothy head. Aroma of dark roast and coffee, some fruity pepper. Bit fruity and spicy pepper in taste as well, mocha, bit soy sauce indeed. Velvety texture. I like it. Much better compared to tap actually, lot more flavor.
