25 October 2025. At “Gentse Biervereniging Kelderschatten” (Baracuna). Cheers to the whole crew!
Peat, bacon, tobacco, peat, peat. Smoked plum, bitter tobacco, smoke & meat. Soft grassy hops, lingering earth & peat. Quite intense, rather one-sided, and a bit too old I fear.

25 September 2025. Can from Hotel Landhauszeit, Bad Münstereifel. Shared with the lovely Anke!
A: hazy black, stable, foamy, tan head.
A: grapefruit, pine nuts, toast, bay leaf, red onion.
T: sweetish mango, bitter grapefruit, toast, coffee powder.
F: bitter piney hops, grapefruit, toasted nuts, coffee.
P: medium body, oily texture, average carbonation.
Not too aggressively roasty, but certainly not recognisable as a 'black NEIPA' effort.
