3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20Bottle at Delirium Hoppy Loft, Brussels, with James and Paul. Pours amber with a big, foamy head. Some leafy hops in the nose, with light caramel and pine. Medium sweet flavor, some gingerbread, caramel and dry leaves. Medium to big in body with lively carbonation. Dry finish with lots of leafy bitterness, some graham crackers and caramel. Pretty meh. A bit dusty. I have to wonder about the freshness of this bottle.

Bottle. Hazy amber liquid with medium white head. Aroma of red berries, citrus, grapefruit, marmalade, tangerine, biscuit and light butter. Taste is light sweet and medium bitter with notes of red berries, caramel, citrus and biscuit. Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Ok, but too sweet.

pours clear medium dark brown with a nice light beige head, good retention and lacing - surprisingly dark.. blind folded - i would guess a light bipa... anyhow, the brew is relatively roasted, some burnt caramels, fruity, resin-plenty, some minerals and plenty of yeast. average to soft carbonation, light body - watery, short but present grassy-spicy finish. more aromatic than bitter. decently done, aside its darker side. o-k.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
500ml bottle from IPB..
Appearance : Amber with small head.
Aroma : Resinous and piny hops with caramel. Nice woody notes. Light overcooked caramel notes. Toffee. Nice balance between malt and hops even if I’m not a big fan of caramel malt in IPAs.
Taste : Piny and resinous hops with caramel. Light alcohol. Finish quite resinous and piny with caramel. Persistent resinous notes. Slightly oily.
Overall : Not bad. Caramel malt is quite present but it’s rather well integrated with the hops. This could almost be a light Barley Wine or something like that. Tasty but not exactly what I’m looking for.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
