(Bottle, In De Wildeman, Amsterdam, 1 March 2014) Black colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of chocolate, caramel, dark bread and coffee. Malty, roasted taste with coffee, chocolate, cocoa and piney hops in a fairly bitter finish. Medium body, quite dry. Feels more like a porter than a black IPA, but it’s tasty and well balanced. Nice one.

Bottle at home, 3rd April 14, smells of vanilla, sweet molasses, taste is a little sickly, too sweet, some vanilla, a little whiskey and some barrel, good, but needs refinement, palate could be a little luxurious

On tap @ In De Wildeman. Copper/amber color, a bit hazy. Off white head, uneven. Aroma’s: pine needles, resin, citrus, sour fruit. All these recede quickly to make way for more malty sweetness, caramel. Flavor is rather bitter at first with some caramel sweetness, but here also the bitterness quickly makes way for more sweetness with just a light bitterness. Medium bodied. Quite soft carbonation. Finishes with caramel, quite dry, just lightly bitter. I expected a bit more of a hop punch.

Bottled @ Rootz, BB Feb 2015, large sample. Slight hazy amber color, short frothy off-white head. Aroma of caramel malt, hint of raisin, quite some citrussy hop, grapefruit, hint of pine. Medium bitter in taste, bit caramelly malt. Good balance. I expect it to be bottled in Feb 2013, so it might be a year old bottle. Id like to try a fresh one, it probably lets the aroma hops shine more. Still a very decent beer, from a more than decent brewer (understatement!).
