18/11/12 - 75cl bottle @ Horecaexpo (Gent) - BB: III/14 (2012-1286)

Clear dark amber to almost brown beer, small off-white irregular head, unstable. Aroma: lots of sweet sugary fruits, syrup, honey, sweet malts. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: some caramel, bit sweet, bitter hops, fruity, ripe peaches. Aftertaste: very bitter, dry, some grapefruit, lemon peel, little spicy, some alcohol coming through. Pretty good beer!

Pours a hazy and dark copper beer with an offwhite head. The aroma is malt and hops with citrus and grapefruit. The flavor follows the nose. The palate is bitterness. Overall a good beer.

Bottle. Creamy off-white excellent fully lasting head. Dark amber colour. Moderate malty and heavy hoppy aroma. Heavy bitter flavor. Long heavy bitter finish. Creamy palate. really nice.

Bottle from Mane Liquor. Dark murky brown pour with a small ram head and nice lacing. Nose shows burnt and ashy malts with bitter chocolate and citrus. Quite bitter through the taste. Dark chocolate with hints of citrus zest and charcoal notes. Heavily roasted almost burnt tones throughout. A little over carbonated but other than that quite pleasing

This beer pours a nice black colour with decent lasting white head. The aroma is fresh and full of resiny hops. The flavour is lightly burnt sugar with citrus bitterness. Very enjoyable Italian black IPA.

Dark brown colour. Hoppy aroma. Malty caramel taste and sweetness along with some hop bitterness.

Bottle from Eataly, bologniaSourie aroma. Pours a dark dark hazy orange brown with a nice head. Very hoppy finish. Good beer.

Bottled. Pours slightly hazy with a medium sized off-white head. Leaving a good lacing. Nose of citrus fruits and caramel. Sweet flavor with graprfruit, lemon, caramel resiney notes. Medium bodied, oily texture and soft carbonation. Ends up more dry and fairly bitter. A crisp and very nice brew.

Aroma of cascade and more cascade, dark bronze color. Carbonated and bitter, but surprisingly light. Grapefruit flavors and surprisingly short palate. Very drinkable.
