Dark purpleish pour, almost no head. Lots of caramel roasted malts and a touch of faint pine hops. Quite biiter with an almost cloying malty sweetness. The hops linger and are nice. The malt, and roast is over the top though.

Black IPA is an interesting style of beer ! You can taste the hops a lot and malt too ! I am a fan of hops so I really enjoyed this Beer ! You got some roasted notes on the top ! It’s a good black ipa that deserves a way better ratting in my own opinion !

bottle A: light citrusy, chocolate and roastiness. App : clear dark brown pretty close to black with sparing beige head. T/P: body is medium initially sweet then finishes on a light bitterness. O: this beer is too balanced for my taste. Bitterness is lacking would have seen more aroma. Overall drinkable.

Bottle: Poured a black color ale with a medium size foamy head with OK retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of dry hops with light green hops notes. Taste is mix between some medium roasted malt notes with light dry taste and some green slightly bitter hops. Body is below average with OK carbonation. This one is lacking focus and needs to be somewhat more robust.
