Tap @ Uiltje bar, small sample. Dark color, short off-white head. Aroma of loads of coffee, slight roast, bit chocolate, slight earthy hop. Medium bitter in taste, slight sweet, again quite some coffee. A bit high on coffee, but I could still enjoy it.

Bottle at Chriso easter tasting. Clear orange /. Copper coloured pour with a lasting sticky off white head. Aroma is mineral, light toffee, mint. Flavour is composed of caramel, semi sweet toffee, apple, peach pudding, littler toast. Palate is medium sweet, moderate carbonation. Mineral. Pretty decent.

Bottle shared thanks to Deanso. Pours near black with a big beige head. Aroma is massive coffee upfront, big roast, really nothing else getting past it. Flavor is moderate sweet and fairly heavy bitter with a lingering strong bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Extremely one dimensional.

Draught at LMG. Jet black with a large frothy head. Aroma is ground coffee beans. Flavour is again heavily dominated by coffee, dry roasted and anything else you hear in a coffee ad. To be honest I don’t get any Black IPA here, but I don’t drink coffee so may have been mugged by the intensity of the bean, a more seasoned coffee drinker might get a lot more from this beer, I am probably get the shakes from canine overload.

Draught at LMG. Cloudy gold with a firm head. Aroma is juicy soft fruit. Flavour is sour fruit, bread and wheat, dry, dry finish. Fruity and bitter, heading for sour.

Courtesy of tderoeck. The first attempt at the reviving Grätzer style in Belgium? Stable, dense and sticky, cream white head over a clouded light blonde beer. Fascinating and unusual aroma of smoked bacon, wheat sourishness, yoghurt, grass, sea water, soap. Sourish onset, refreshing with the lightly salty touch expected from the style, something iron-like as well, wheaty, spicy and smoked accents, finish a combination of the initial sourishness and saltiness with hops only there for structure but not for bittering, as is custom in this style. I did not have many beers to compare this with, but this sure was interesting.

Sampled from bottle @ Tim needs to get rid of his ticks tasting. Ultra clear super pale yellowish color, average to medium sized quickly diminishing white head. Weird aroma with hints of hops, smoke, salty. Tastes about the same. Lightly dry finish. A bit thin bodied, average carbonation. Not too bad actually, but with some work it could be pretty good.

Thanks to tderoeck! 330 ml. bottle sampled @ “Tim needs to get rid of his ticks” Tasting. Enjoyed together with tderoeck, Benzai & Alengrin. Milky yoghurt citrus appearance, creamy white head. Nose is smoked, salted & baked tempeh, lightly sour, smoked wood. Taste is sour lactic, salty, smoked wood, mellow smoke, it seems to have ’t Hofbrouwerijke off-flavours mixed in with everything else which takes it away from being great. Fizzy body possibly due to issues. Still this is interesting & enjoyable. Not bad.
