COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
What does it mean? Yes, what indeed does it all mean. Meaning of course is elusive and illusive. It can’t or shouldn’t be found on this bottle. Should it? Yet what if it was? Would you begin to look for pearls of wisdom or life direction on a beer label? Perhaps it’s been there all along. Since meaning is a mere illusion, perhaps we shouldn’t let it have any influence on our destiny. This particular beer refused to succumb to the illusion of meaning or allow capricious parameters to have any influence on its own fermented fate. Are we even asking the right question? Are you feeling frustrated in the emptiness? If so, that could be because someone got to this beer before you, and thus there’s a reason for that emptiness. It’s empty. And if so, perhaps there indeed is not any meaning for you here after all. Style over Substance, or Substance over the scriptures of Style? The latter, thank you very much. Twice.

MaartenRF10 (347) - Wageningen, NETHERLANDS - FEB 8, 2012
Very dark brown with brown head. Well balanced beer, with a good combination of bitter hops and both sweet chocolate and bitter coffee malts. Fine slightly oily body, nice soft carbo.

jhamp9 (165) - Texas, USA - FEB 6, 2012
Poured very dark brown with a ring of head and minimal lacing. Aroma is spruce, licorice, and raisin. Taste bitter chocolate, tobacco, some piney hops, roasted malt, and very earthy. Full body coats the palate. Very interesting.

Reynolds314 (573) - Connecticut, USA - FEB 6, 2012
Pretty good black IPA with a ashy roasted finish. Hops are very prevalent with notes of spruce and floral hops. Finish is dry ashy and a bit harsh but still nice.

Bierkrug (1643) - Idar-Oberstein (In Senegal), Rhineland-Palatinate, GERMANY - JAN 29, 2012
330 ml bottle at Wasana’s Winter Beer Tasting 2012, Idar-Oberstein, Germany. With much thanks to Grima. Pours a dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is roasted malt. Taste is of course a tart everlasting chemical that overrides ant notion that this could be beer. Blah

UPDATED: JAN 30, 2012 Bottle, thanks Grima! Fine tobacco roast and hop aroma. Opaque black. Lacing brown head. Creamy mouthfeel. Great balance from roast malt and hop profile. Yummy.
