On tap @ In de Wildeman. Pitch black body with a nice, dense, rust red head. A very pleasant aroma of roasted malt, liquorices, mocha, coffee, chocolate and fruit. Flavor is as aroma, mild but distinct roasted malt, mocha, bitter chocolate, coffee and hops. Amazingly balanced and smooth, with a Belgium touch. Full bodied and an aftertaste that goes on forever. No alcohol, just a smooth warming feeling. Really great stuff, thanks to the bartender for the recommendations.

Huge, dark brown-cream head, over well-carboanted, pitch-black beer. Smoked ham!! Sulphur, and something chemical, as the air in industrial area. Faint coffee. Sweet and salty, again positively smoked ham. However, surprising little bitterness. Carbonation very traceable in the MF, even some sourness from the CO². Well-bodied, oily. Alcohol is remarkably hidden. Not quite a RIS as I see it. Ought to have soem more roasted malts, and certainly more hops.

Very good & thick amber-cream head, fed by lively carbonation in reddish amber beer. Cakey malts, dry malt and indeed very dried hops. As to Amarillo??? Hoppy, quite bitter flavour, but quite "noble" impression, and some good malts, but sweetness does not surface. Maybe some burnt cake- or pizzabottom. Dry, nearly dry-out effect, well-bodied, and slighlty creamy MF. Balance is quite OK, but I miss the citrus- or resinbite of a real USA IIPA. But I applaud the try - in KAMPERLAND, of all outback holes, by Jove!

Bottled. Amber color, hazy. Flowery, somewhat perfumed aroma with pear. Sweet, alcoholic flavor, perfumed with some notes of cologne. Hints of grapes. Slightly disappointing, considering the excellent beers this brewery has produced.

Taster from tap at In de Wildeman. Black colour, beige/brown head. Aroma of sweet fruits, peaches, liquorice. Flavour is sweet, peaches again, lots of other fruits, roasted malts, liquorice. Very late bitterness in the finish. Thick and syrupy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Different, good, but too sweet for my liking. Will re-rate if I get my hands on more. 748414 Re-rate: On tap at ’t Arendsnest. Pitch black, creamy beige head. Aroma of deep roasted malts, some liquorice, light fruity, good hops. Flavour is sweet, chocolate, deep roasted malts, coffee, liquorice (drop) and hoppy bitter finish. Fullbodied. Less sweet than I remembered. 748415

Bottle. Orange brown color, cloudy. Pineapple and melon in the aroma. Full bodied. Oily hopbitter peppery flavor with ontbijtkoek (spiced Dutch breakfast cake) and melon. Notes of alcohol. Long oily hopbitter aftretaste. Well made DIPA, Emelisse didn’t forget the power, but went for balance.
