UPDATED: AUG 12, 2022 Lattina. Il naso viene catturato dal caffè. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera normale e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine, con carbonazione abbondante. Il colore è nero come la pece. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è intenso. La forza gustativa è elevata e la persistenza è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano luppolate. Il retrogusto è intenso. Sul tetto della bocca arrivano sentori di caramello, miele, crosta di panettone, biscotto, cioccolato fondente, caffè, liquirizia, frutta secca e agrumi.

UPDATED: JUL 24, 2022 Enjoyed: Poured from a bottle into tulip/snifter glass. Appearance: Black colour, creamy dirty-white/brownish head with nice lacing. Aroma: Roasted malt, caramel, coffee, black/dark fruits, hint of alcohol. Palate: Medium body, slightly oily, low carbonation. Taste: Roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee, dark fruits. Overall impression: Intense, aromatic, tasty… not so drinkable, good only for slow sipping.

UPDATED: MAY 8, 2022 Ebano con schiuma nocciola compatta e molto persistente. Amaro un po troppo invadente. Caramello, caffè, tostato persistenti. Corpo pieno

UPDATED: APR 13, 2022 The aroma of this Black IPA brings up caramel, roasted grain, coffee, and citrus dried peel. Pours dark brown, translucent, a pretty, creamy, off-white head, medium size, with high retention and creamy lacing. Really creamy, reminds of Guinness! Medium bitterness, caramel, roasted grain, coffee, grapefruit, citrus peel. Hops aren't too strong, probably not the freshest can, but the understanding is that are proper when fresh. Hoppy, bitter, lingering, after taste. Creamy, smooth, filling mouthfeel, medium body and carbonation. Seems a good brew, but in this can hops seems a bit faded, definitely solid during its prime time.
