Tap at Nassau Pub & Pirates, Bari, Italy. Pours dark red, almost black, with very fine cream foam. Aroma is moderate in coffee and dark chocolate, a hint of vanilla. Body is average, with pretty much no carbonation. Silky. Taste is moderately roasty bitter. Final is not intense, but fairly long and a little coffeeish.

Bottled 330ml. -from Pam Nendaz. Blackish coloured, small off-white head, chocolate and light coffee in the nose. Light roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, mild nutty and roasty finish. Pleasant but unfortunately not so fresh.

Karmelowe, biszkoptowe, ziemiste, delikatnie cytrusowe. Barwa złota, przejrzyste, piana trwała, ładny lacing. Goryczka niska do średniej, ziemisto-palona. Wytrawne, faktycznie taka retro IPA, bardzo fajnie odtworzona.

Slightly hazy amber with minimal head. Good medium intensity nose: grapefruit, tangerine, mandarine, pine. Lovely and full bodies in the mouth. Grapefruit, citrus up front pine notes on the finish. Well balanced. Finish just right. Very good. A proper IPA too.
