33cl flip top bottle courtesy of Buckeyeboy. Cheers Jeremy for hauling this one to Belgium. Beer was about a week old. De couleur orangée, col épais et tenace blanc voire blanc-cassé. Arôme est envoutant avec de nombreuses effluves houblonnées se battant sur le terrain. Je note des pointes tropicales accompagnées de pelure, léger pin avec un rétro-nasal complexe et, ici aussi, centré sur le fruité. Palais est houblonné et franchement délicieux à chaque gorgée. Notes herbacées, pin sur pointe d’épice. Léger pamplemousse avec ce côté savonneux, mais en positif, des houblons. Tropical accompagne le tout et rappelle la papaye et le pamplemousse. Le palais reste légèrement huileux notamment par ce côté pin et sève, ce dernier prend un peu plus de présence en fin de bouche. Le malté arrive en retrait et laisse la part belle aux houblons. Un exemple des IPA qui manque en Belgique.

On tap at bier thirty. Pours out a nice golden topped with a white head. Nose is great pine citrus caramel and some resin. Taste as the nose with a great hop combo citrus tropical fruit and a nice grapefruit peel bitterness on the end.

Glass at APEX. Pours a bright copper color with a medium white head. A huge sweet nose, candied oranges. The flavor is deep hop resin, green at times, mellow bitterness, background sweet toasted malts, super smooth, more candied oranges, pineapples. Awesome beer! Super clean and smooth whilst being very flavorful and big.

Citra hops dominate the taste, faint hop aroma. Clear dark brown body, thin head, good lacing. Mostly grapeftuit tast, nice malt backbone.

On tap at Prefunk Boise Hazy mahogany with a creamy light tan head. Plenty of woody bitter aroma. Some seasonal winter spice. Big light toasty flavor. Thin and astringent with a strange finish. Just OK

On tap at APEX. Pours a dark brown color with a medium white head. A big bready nose, some toast and toffee. The flavor is rich berries, caramel, big sweet malts, fairly dry in the finish. Solid beer.

On tap at Belmont Station's Bier Cafe, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out a great mix of roasted malt and piney hops, like a well-balanced black IPA should. Flavour is super pungent, with loads of roasted malt, dry dark fruits, and potent pine hops. Impeccably well-balanced, without any harsh elements. Damn fine flavours. Fantastic double black IPA.

Glass at APEX. Pours a pure black color with a medium light beige head. The aroma is big chocolate and pine. The flavor is fruity hops, pine, deep roast. Very balanced overall, leaning toward hops. Good.

On tap at Apex, pours black with a medium tan head. Aroma brings out more fruity notes than roasted malt, with a touch of hops detectable. Flavour brings out smooth dry roasted malts upfront, balanced by just enough hops to give it a slightly bitter profile and balance out the malt. Highly drinkable and well-crafted. Excellent stuff.
