(Handbottle 65 cl) Courtesy of BrianK. Clear, amber golden with a creamy, off-white head leaving some lacework. Fat, sweetish aroma of malt and peachy hops. Quite full-bodied, very sweet caramel and a fairly bitter finish. A bit too much on the sweet side. 190408

A former top-50 beer entered to celebrate my rating number 10200. A pitch black beer with a brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of chocolate, tar, and hops. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of roasted malt as well as notes of alcohol and oranges, leading to a dry bitter chocolate finish. Thanks Jeppe for sharing.

A black colored beer. Thick and heavy, great palate. Malt aroma with some wood. Flavor has chocolate, medium bitter, roasted oats, and some coffee. More hops than common for the style. It is not as incredible as I thought it might be, but still very good. The high abv is well hidden.

Growler courtesy of Degarth. Thanks for bringing this back from your trip. Pours hazy yet clearing orange-ish copper with tan head and lasting cobweb lacing. The aroma is light with sweet grapefruit hops, sweet orange juice and a hint of malt sweetness. The taste is a bit timid for an IIPA with some grapefruit and orange hop flavor (most likely due to a load of late addition hops) and mild citrus hop bitterness. Pretty nice. With further investigation it seems the late addition hopping was quite prolific and poneying up the dominant flavor component. I also get a background of sweet malts. It ends with bitter hops growing to near tepid levels compared to the sweeter citrus hop flavor. Great mouth feel on this beer.

Growler courtesy of Degarth. Thanks for bringing this back from your trip. Pours dirt clear brown with fluffy light brown head. In the aroma I get mild pine hops, roasty malts, a bit of malt astringency and a hint of toffee. The taste is nice and malty mixed with pine hop bitterness but not in an Arrogant Bastard Ale type way. Approaching the finish the hops fade some giving way to rich roasty malts. Yum. The after taste carries even more roastiness and growing pine hop bitterness.

RB#2700: Handbottled, thanks to Papsoe for pulling this out. Pours dark brown with a lacing mild chocolate brown head. Thick chocolate malty aroma with a mild note of dried fruit. Dark chocolate flavoured, solid bitterness. Finish lingers with a solid dark chocolate and a really heavy bitterness. Chocolate and bitterness overload - brilliant.

Growler from Green’s in Columbia. Caramel malt and metallic hops aroma. Dark amber with nice big head. Light caramel malt and hops but with a fairly strong metallic flavor as well. Mild carbonation - decent drinkable festbier.
