UPDATED: DEC 6, 2019 # 528; 11/2016. Vynikající pivo. Příjemná hořkost, kávovost, kořenitost, jemně karamel.

Keg at BrewDog Shepherds Bush in 2016. Near black with a white head. Aroma of pine, resin and dark fruits. A little roastiness in the flavour, with a good heap of citrus and pine hop bitterness.

UPDATED: MAR 12, 2019 Live at Brewdog Tower Hill, black with a lacing crema and a nose piney toasty nose. Beautifully smooth and hoppy, then a creamy burnt rexture brings cocoa hints and a firm dry and vegetal bitterness. Lovely.

UPDATED: MAR 9, 2019 Tap@Brewdog Seven Dials, London - very dark brown to black with a beige ringed head. Roasted malty and hoppy with some fruity notes of grapefruit, some cocoa and caramel, medium body, roasted malty and hoppy finish.

UPDATED: JUL 29, 2018 Buen sabor y aroma en la linea de las brewdog, la malta tostada presente en sabor bien integrada y lupulo en amargor y aroma muy agradables

Can. Opaque chestnut, brown cream. Fairly fish-saucy roast, lavender, strong minerals, metallic roast. Medium light body. Chocolate roast, grandmas hop soap, licorice, salty dry, salted fatty chocolate finish. Older can, perhaps the fresh beer was more harmonic, this is just a mess.

Dec. '16. A 0.33 l can, thanks Marko for sharing! It poured a hazy dark brown body with a small head. Fine malty and hoppy aroma, lightly roasty with lots of caramel from one side and light pine, herbal and grassy from another. Complex. Flavor was lightly bitter, lemon peel, but also sweetish caramel and roasty brown sugary which gave it more cloying and fuller body despite being much lighter than nose would indicate. Finished in a long manner, with roasted notes being emphasized. Alcohol was dangerously hidden. Nice, tasty, balanced BIPA.

Jack black colour, very nice barrel characteristics (not sure if its barrel aged). Nice velvety mouthfeel with lovely bitterness, complemented with tingling carbonation; very slight roastiness.

Vom Fass Stone Brewing Berlin im 2016-08 getrunken. Der Hammer haut hier mit 200 IBU zu und sorgt für ein tollen Südfrüchte-Mix in Nase und auch etwas am Gaumen. Die trockene Bitterkeit kommt dann nach 5 Sekunden wenn das Bier den Mund verlassen hat dann mir leider viel zu deutlich. Doch sobald es Wärmer wird ist dann auch die Frucht komplett hin. Keine leicht trinkbares Bier. Nunja!

Can of 33cl, in a Tumblker glass; from the fridge. Why a so low overall (8/20) ? Because, yes it’s a good beer, stouty one, but clearly not a Black IPA. We are more in front of a stout beer, with her dark brown colour and milky coffee head. Aroma and taste havre notes of sweetness and chocolate, but the hop is not that present. Go for it, but not a full price.
