The Red Nitro wasn’t that good so i didn’t have high hopes for this one. It actually was delicious.
Opague black colour. Smells very hoppy but roasty malty at the same time. This beer combines the best of IPAs and Stouts and i love it.

Bottle, bought @ BarleyWine, Cph.
Pours almost completely black with a great, staying, creamy, beige head. Aroma is lovely hoppy, citrus, pine, grapefruit. Lightly roasted malts behind it. Medium carbonation, impressive dry and creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is very hoppy, lightly roasted, some slight coffee and chocolate notes. Grapefruit, citrus and pine dominate the lovely bitter hops. Aftertaste is lovely dry, with some clear roasted notes. Really lovely.

Draught at Bishops Arms Jänrtorget, Göteborg, on October 17, 2010. During Porterveckan 2010
Black color, fluffy tan head. Very hoppy, fruity, red berries, some citrus scent. Hoppy, bitter, dry, roasted, fresh taste.
Long, bitter, lingering aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel, medium high bitterness.
Almost too dry for me and too bitter, but it works, very nice!

Pitch black with a medium beige looking head. Aroma was packed with hops, grapefruits, lemons, pine and just hints of burned malt. Flavor was bone dry and again packed with hops, pine, grapefruit, lemon, hard and just enough roasted malt to make it a black IPA and not an Imperial Stout. What a cracker.

Bottled courtesy of the Amager brewers and Papsoe, huge, HUGE thanks! Poured a pitch black body with a dark tan head that went awaat a medium pace. Superbly hopiness in the nose, big passionfruit balanced by some malt. Refreshing, damn refreshing tropical hoppy taste, mingling with some roastiness, truly splendidly put together. Now this is what I imagined the style to be all about and I love it.

Bottle at home. Pours a clearish brown with a beige head. Smells hoppy. Bitter with strong hoppy aromas. Hints of Belgian yeast fruit esters... this (unfortunately) disappears as the beer ages in the glass. Mellow aromas of roasted malts. Tiny hints of plant sap. Medium to full bodied. Medium carbonation. Long bitter finish with more hops aromas and a tiny hint of residual sugars.

A Mes rate. Bottle at 1st Borefts Beer Festival BIG thanks to the bloke who loves phones..
Mahogany black with an excellent off white head and lace. Amazing bright floral hoppage and petrol (in a good way, honestly) on top of some truly stunning black malt. The dark coffee character blends seamlessly with the fresh grassy hops. It’s probably the best integration between dark and golden I have experienced so far. Beautiful earthy finish with great length and a developing bitterness. Fantastic.

UPDATED: JAN 4, 2011 Bottle. An unclear, dark brown beer with a light tan medium sized head. Slightly roasted on the nose, but mostly meaty and especially piney and resiny. The flavor has some roasted malts giving chocolate and cofffee, with sufficient hops to bring balance with it’s bitterness and resiny, citrusy flavors. Bitter finish. Full-bodied and nicely carbonated. Ummm. Rating: 7-4-8-4-16-3.9. 100827
Bottle. It’s a clear, very dark brown beer with just a little reddish hue. The head is creamy as hell, beige in color, two-fingers thick and with good retention. It leaves rows of cute lacings as the beer is drank. Lovely nose with lots of resiny, piney and citrusy hops, leaving the very present malts in the background. A pleasant burnt note shines through. Some notes of alcohol too, but only if you dig in deep. Flavorwise it’s also hop-dominated, not too bitter, and with enough sweetness to cope with both hops and alcohol. At least most of the hops. It feels a bit watery on the palate, quite strange, as it’s sure a full-bodied beer. The finish has a good caramel malty sweetness to back up the bitterness that lasts really long. Overall, a really well crafted beer that I wouldn’t mind repeat several times. 100526
