Bottle at home. Aroma of roasted malt, lots of coffee, mocha, espresso, dark chocolate, fruity notes, hint of liquorice, fruity hops. Flavour is light sweet and medium bitter. Body is medium. Delicious coffee-heavy Black IPA, but you gotta be a coffee fiend to appreciate this one.

Bottle shared by Beersiveknown @ tasting at his place. Huge thanks Steve! A bit hazy red brown "ish" color, average sized beige head. Smell and taste are both lightly malts, softly sour, tart, soft like a geuze. Awesome!
