Dark color, near black, with brown large head; the carbonation is better under control here. Very nice aroma of dark malts and bread, with delicate smoke, cream. Good body strength, with lean mouthfeel; strong flavor of roasted malts and smoked malt, with a touch of dark chocolate; the absence of liquorice is appreciated; basically dry; very strong bitterness, with hop resins in the background. Roastiness without excess.
Elegant, powerful, balanced; excellent.

Black color with huge beige head, compact. Creamy roasted malt aroma, hint of coffee, cardboard, light bread. Good body, bold and smooth; strong flavor of roasted malt, some ashes, black coffee, and plenty of hop resins that blend in; strong bitterness; it has some residual sweetness, but hidden by the roastiness; some liquorice in the final.
Good, well brewed, just a bit too roasty for me.

Hazy amber color with generous compact head. Nice aroma, resiny hops, mild fruits, and some yeast. The mouthfeel is smooth, quite dry; good caramel and toffee flavor, a bit sweeter in the final; correct bitterness level, with soft hop resins and hop fruitiness.
Fresh, good, highly drinkable, perfectly balanced.

Bottled, thanks Bov! Hazy pale amber, small head. Aroma of grapefruit and gooseberry. Medium bodied with rounded mouthfeel. Caramelly malt resting under a thick blanket of goosebery and lychee. Quite bitter finish. Interesting hops, less thrilling malt backbone.

Bottled (kindly shared by omhper, thanks!). Amber colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is fruity, some cookies, mild toffee and some herbal notes. Flavour is rather bitter fruity and floral in a nice way along with some tropical fruits as well as bready and sweet maltyness balancing it up. Very wellbalanced and pleasant IPA!

Bottled, thanks Bov! Hazy pale amber, huge lively head. Rich aroma of pear and kiwi. Sweet with medium body and soft mouthfeel. Sugary with some honey, dough and peppery alcohol. Growing bitter finish. Pleasant hop aromas, but needs to lose sweetness to gain drainkability.
