COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Our IPA and Stout converge for a really great flavor combination to create a rich and robust black & tan. The assertive hoppy character of our Hoppin to Heaven IPA is perfectly complimented by the intense deep roasted flavor of our BORIS Oatmeal Imperial Stout. Two great tastes that taste even better together.

MotherBrother (291) - Aalborg, DENMARK - MAY 20, 2012
Bottle @ Haand festival. Pour black, with a brown hue, and a small off-white head. Aroma of oatmeal, licorice, coffee, pine and hoppy, with slight chocolate. Taste sweet upfront, with a nice and hoppy bitter aftertaste. Suits this beer very well. Medium - semi-full body, with an average carb.

Bottle. Aroma has almost bubblegum sweetness. But the stout is very dominant and the IPA is harder to find. Taste is burnt, chocolate and some alcohol. The hops chip in in the aftertaste but the alcohol is very dominant. Finish is sweet at first but slowly turns more dry. The extremes are maybe a bit too much, but overall not a bad beer.

Bottle. Kind of like a black ipa. Black body with a big, dense beige head. Aroma is dark roast black malts with big hop notes. Flavor is sweet malt, roast, chocolate, coffee, citric fruit, pine and balanced bitter. Pretty nice cinbination.

rlgk (5550) - Skövde, SWEDEN - APR 6, 2012
Bottle. Black beer with a beige/brown head. Hoppy aroma, roasted malt, chocolate, fruity notes, some milk and vanilla. Hoppy flavor, metallic, roasted, milky, grassy notes, chocolate, vanilla, some fruits. These two beers combine quite well, but maybe à blended beer like this loses some of the character.

Molt fosca amb una espuma cremosa, aroma a malt dolç amb una mica de cafè que mica en mica evoluciona mostrant l’aroma del llúpol. En boca crema de cafè torrat amb un interessant sabor a llúpol. Interessant cervesa. Tastada al Rosses i Torrades - celler de cervesa.

La veritat és que m’ha deixat força indiferent. Els invents no sempre funcionen.

Aroma is a mix of resinous hops and roasted malts. The flavor is smooth roasted malts with a back end of hops that takes over into the finish. I went in not really knowing what to expect or whether the two flavors wouldn’t mix well but they did very well in making it work.

Thanks to Søren for this! Pours black with a light brown head. Aroma is nice big and thick hops, roasted notes, sweet liquorice, I got a weak grainy note, pine, sweeter chocolate, coffee and peach. The taste has that thick characteristic boris taste with dark sweet nuances all over the place. With this comes the juicy big and thick hoppy notes from the aroma. Pretty good!
