4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. Complex aroma. Strong piney and resiny notes, pineapple, some mandarine and orange, dark chocolate and earthy hints. Rather full bodied, flavourful and bitter, though with a relaxed, mellow feeling to it. Great beer!

Excellent!

Very nice.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
På Cardinaltreff april-13: vinnerøl fra NZ home brewing competition, med Nelson Sauvin, Centennial og Sorachi Ace. Nydelig, frisk aroma&smak, med litt ekstra mørk maltsmak, naturlig nok. Aner vi et snev av portvin? "Levelig det her" var en av kommentarene - kveldens beste til nå, men vi hadde ennå et stykke å gå. Ingen pøseøl ilfg. skibsrederen.

3.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
An interesting expression of the black IPA, with almost no traces of roasted malts in aroma or taste. Well balanced and careful hopping results in a very fine brew indeed.
