Bottled. Dark color, big frothy brown head. Aroma is quite hoppy, grapefruit and pine. In the background there is some roasted malts and chocolat, but it’s mostly hop in aroma. Quite bitter taste, piney, dry. Some smoothness, like a dry stout usually has as well. The roasted malts are present, but only as a carrier of the big hops. If I would taste this blindfolded, I think I would notice something different about the malt bill, but maybe not the color of the beer.
