BOTTLE 50 CL. Murky dark amber, small off-white head. Smells of melon and honey spiced up with some onions. Moderate sweetness, subtle caramel and honey, followed by a weird pungent onion/garlicky bitterness, with notes of diesel and wild herbs. Well... this is one bizarre IPA.

BOTTLE 3 CL from Berero. Almost black, faint ruby highlights, fast diminishing mocha head. Smells mostly like blueberries - sweet pulp and astringent skins. Some roasty notes behind, more like toasted sunflower seeds. Subtle hints of alcohol. The taste is more balanced, still quite fruity, moderately sweet by milk stout standards. Unfortunately, the base stout is not quite up to the challenge - lack the body and the smoothness, the bitterness in the finish has a harsh burnt oil like note. Not bad, not great either.

BOTTLE 50 CL. Murky dark brown, nice beige head with lacing. The aroma is full on grapefruit, grapefruit zest and pine resins. Might be a hint of chocolate in there. Grapefruit pulp again. Fresh hoppy taste, zesty and resiny, rounded by a touch of grapefruit juice. Big piney aftertaste. Not much black malts coming through. Full-bodied, yet easy drinking. Not too Black, but a very good IPA.

Bottle, thanks ciocanelu! Black color with big beige head. Aroma is vanilla, cocoa, lacto, cinnamon, chocolate. Taste starts of with an immediate chili catch, the cinnamon stays present, with a nice coffee character throughout. Rather light mouthfeel, low carbonation but the bubbles do have some bite. Surprisingly light, nice chili catch - needs a tad more body maybe.
