Black body tan head. Aroma is fruits malts vanilla. Taste is malts roasted malts coffee. Aftertaste is nice balanced.

UPDATED: MAY 4, 2019 From bottle at CBF Vienna: Almost black color, brownish color. Aroma is roasty, hoppy, some coffee. Flavor is nice malty and roasty with coffee and hops. Ends roasty hoppy. Nice one.

Pitch black with an average sized, quite dense mocha head. Excellent retention, little lacing. Averagely intense aroma shows dark bread and slight roasted malts, piney/resinous notes and a citric suggestion. Taste follows the aroma closely with perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness, and a hint of residual bitterness in a dry, refreshing finish. Aroma and taste are both rather simple, but it's a very clean, good kind of simplicity. Medium to light bodied with average to high carbonation that makes the beer quite lively but does not take away at all from great drinkability. The beer feels like less than 6 and a half abv. It's a rather standard interpretation of the style, but it's very nicely balanced, clean and drinkable. That's all i would ask for.

UPDATED: OCT 20, 2018 Wypite lane w Scurreria Beer & Bagel w Genui. Bardzo dobra czarna IPA. Łagodna, a przy tym fajnie nachmielona.
