Bottle coming from the sterk, Amsterdam. Tasting this delicious nectar, yesterday, for the meal time after a busy morning. For me, it was a rich imperial stout, syrupy, alcohol well hidden, roasty, vanilla, note of ginger, woody, chocolate, vanilla, 08.03.23

Almost clear copper beer under a thick, slightly yellowish head with rings of lace. Citrussy, hoppy-oily nose with exotic fruit, preserved orange. Bitter-citrussy, with a quite dry, lupulin imposed finish - really as straight from hopbells. Bit vegetable too. Light body, if very hopoily, slick. Not very carbonated. Hopbomb, just maybe a tad too oily-sticky-hoppy to be really a thirstquencher (which would be required for a summer ale). Txs to Stef!

Fruity aroma of citrus, tropical fruits, light resin. Flavour is fruits, quite hoppy, with a good bitterness in the aftertaste. Simply a very good IPA!

Aroma of malt, caramel, tropical fruits, pine. Flavour is fruity and hoppy with some caramel malt thrown in. Finish is bitter. I like their IPA better, but this one is quite tasty as well.

Bottle at home. Aroma is big oak, dark malt, chocolate, coffee, roast, some fruity hoppy notes, hint of smoke, earthy hops, light salty liquorice. Flavour is moderate to medium roasty hoppy bitter with a very dry finish. Body is medium. Not your typical Black IPA, more of a coffee roasty aroma with lots of oaky notes. Good though.
