33cl bottle from K-Supermarket Kamppi, Helsinki. Pours very dark brown, close to black, with a fairly large, but not too lasting beige head. Roasty and hoppy aroma with notes of licorice, pine, dark fruits and hints of herbs. Moderate to medium sweet with medium flavour intensity and bitterness. Quite okay.

33 cl bottle @ home, BBE 07/2018. Aroma has nice licorice and ashy tones. Flavour has licorice, ash, some hoppy tones and mild tobacco notes. Also faint traces of vegetables. A balanced black ipa; not too hoppy and gives also room for the roasted notes. A bit too ashy though.
