Bottled (backlog). More or less black colour, small beige head. Aroma is roasted malts, liquorice and quite much fruity and floral notes. Flavour is quite much the same. Almost like a mix of a bodied IPA and a Porter in a good balance.

Draught @ Akkurat. Pours hazy black with a creamy and fluffy ash-coloured head that slowly dissipates while leaving some lacing on the glass while dissipating. Smell is tiny sweet and fruity with roasted malts, salty liquorice, wood, pine, grapefruit juice, dark grapes, rye flour, grass, orange zest and hints of coffee. Taste is sweet and bitter with dark bread, grapefruit juice, lemon zest, freshly cut grass, roasted malts, salty liquorice and dark roast coffee. Mouthfeel is round, slightly smooth and medium bodied. Finish is slightly bitter and tiny herbal with roasted malts, citrus zest, freshly cut grass, pine, dark roast coffee and salty liquorice.

Draught at MacGregor鈥檚 East Avenue. Malty nose of coffee and chocolate, a bit of hop. Citrus and grass come in better in the flavor. A bit heavy, and quite porter-like. Bitter finish.

Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Clear dark brown, brief head. Pungent aroma of black currant, such as from an effervescent tablet. Mid dry with clean, spritzy mouthfeel. Slightly roasty with artifical black currant hpos and salty finish.

Location: Draft at Hop Devil, 2/18/11
Aroma: The nose is has citrus, pine, roast, chocolate, and caramel notes
Appearance: It pours a brown-black color with a light brown head
Flavor: The taste is fairly balanced some sweetness and bitterness
Palate: The body is light-medium with a fairly soft carbonation and a decent mouthfeel
Overall Impression: Overall, I found this one to be a decent Black IPA with a nice balance and a solid mouthfeel. I've had both good and bad examples of this style, and this one is very much in the middle. A solid beer.
