UPDATED: DEC 28, 2018 Copenhagen 6/8 2018. 50 cl bottle from Best of Beers Webshop. Drawing of a Grasshopper on the label. Pours opaque dark brown with light beige head. Bubbly. Settles as thin but creamy layer of foam obscuring the surface of the beer. Substantial lacing. Aroma is sweet and medium intense. Solid Malt backbone with caramel, brown sugar, roasted malts with very light notes of smoke. More subdued bitter, citric notes. Light carbonation. Medium thick, soft, lightly prickly texture. Flavor has fairly strong sweetness followed by even stronger bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter. Lingering. Very nice Black IPA with strong bitterness and a solid malty basis.

Good body, lots of alcohol, almost hidden behind the dry hoppy finish. Drink it alone.

En meget humlet øl, dog uden at blive alt for tør og skarp i det. Drak en halv liter af øllen, hvilket nok lige er i overkanten, der er simpelthen for meget humle i!
