3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
(Bottle) Pours black with creamy, nougat to pale brown coloured head. The aroma is a mix of roasted malt/chocolate, alcohol and spicy/grassy/light floral hops. Some plums in the background. Nice grainy maltiness on the nose. The flavour is light sweet, medium bitter and tiny acidic. Tones of dark chocolate and resinous/spicy hops as well as a light touch of dark fruits. The mouthfeel is round, creamy and clean. Smooth malt finish. Nice bitter sting at the end. Medium bodied.

The way Avery meshed in the hops is amazing on this beer; very well balanced and clean to the taste.

Den här ölen uppfattade jag som något söt med en påträngande maltighet som samtidigt är ganska så mild. Jag ansåg mig även hitta någon ton av lakrits men det kan tas med en nypa salt då undertecknad var berusad vid inmundigandet.
4.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
This beer pours a perfectly dark color with a fantastic pillowy head that sustains itself throughout the drinking time. Aroma is great, notes of chocolate, roasted malts, and hops all mixed together. Taste is awesome with a great lager mouthfeel. Notes are of roasted chocolate, some sweet maltiness, a slight bitterness from hops although there also seems to be some due to the chocolate as well, and they all mix together in a perfectly drinkable blend of awesomeness. This beer is very similar to Stone’s Black IPA, but much more drinkable and slightly less aggressive.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. Pours dark brown with a medium beige head. Sweet aroma with notes of roasted malts, caramel, coffee and a hint of hops. Flavor is sweet with notes of caramel and roasted malts. A hint of grapefruit citrus towards the finish.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle: Black in color, deep cola hues on the edges, large frothy off-white head, nice lacing.
Floral and hops on the nose, slight burnt/charred malts. Smooth maltiness on the tongue, slight peat and charred
wood, a little floral with some hop and bright grassiness on the backside. Moderate to full body and mouthfeel.
This is an interesting brew, somewhat of a Pale, a little bit of a Schwarzbier, and some aspects of an Imperial
Pilsner. Surprised to see this is nearly 9%. Seems like a Black Pale Ale. Smooth, flavorful, and
very clean. Well balanced. Good stuff!
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Une belle surprise et une des meilleures anniversaires d’Avery. Gros bouquet de houblons combiné au chocolat et à l’espresso. Onctueux comme une robuste porter, parfumé comme une ipa, une belle surprise!
