Bottle shared in London - many thanks to Colin. Pours deep brown with a creamy, tan head. Good beer, nicely rounded, not too complex but has some nice toasted bread and dry cocoa character. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Burnt earth on the finish with rindy grapefruit and more dry chocolate. Very drinkable. Good one.

Bottle thanks to Black IPA slayer, Colin. It pours darkest brown with a thick tan head. The nose is roasty, earth, pine, orange peel, soap, tangelo, candy and some florals. The taste is crisp, bitter, earthy, orange peel, sherbet, dirt, pine, roasted malt and toast with a dry finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Interesting and quaffable. Very nice.

330ml bottle [in the meanwhile celebrating van Persie’s equalizer and Robben’s goal giving the Netherlands the lead - yessss! - Man! Can’t drink that fast, Holland scores again!]. Hazy dark golden to amber colour with average to huge, firm, foamy, fairly lasting, barely white head. Resinous hoppy aroma with very intense and explicit notes of spruce, fruity hints of pineapple, a touch of mandarine, watery mango, overall woody character. Taste is fruity hoppy, slightly dry, slightly resinous, piney, hints of spruce, pineapple, watery mango. Very nice!
