Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours deep black with tan head, very nice looking beer. Aroma is very balanced, dark roast and some coffee, light hop. Flavor of some coffee, dark roasted grain, malty, nice light hoppiness. Mouth feel is heavy body with medium-high carbonation. Overall, not bad at all!

50cl bottle from K&L Redwood City. Pours black in color with a huge brown head that strangely has two layers, a lower brown one and an upper tan one. Ridiculous retention. Aroma is roast, coffee, piney hops, and a hint of smoke. Flavor is very good, with all the characteristics of a roasty stout: roasted malt, caramel malt, coffee, and bitter chocolate, along with a blast of piney and resinous hops, maybe a little citrus too. Mouthfeel is very smooth and body is fairly full. Very nice beer overall.

Bottle: Pours an oily opaque with a large airy dark beige head. Has a fresh grapefruity resiny hop nose supported by sweet dark caramel malt and dark chocolate. Starts with pretty good fullness and dark malty sweetness with some roasted coffee bean notes and a nice balance of citrusy flavor and bittering hops. An enjoyable and dangerously drinkable hoppy dark ale.

Pours black into a snifter. Mocha head with excellent retention slowly recedes leaving sheets to skim surface. Dark pit fruit, chocolate and espresso aromas. Creamy yet lively chocolate upfront turning to sweet resin and grapefruit and back to chocolate in the lasting finish.

500ml Bottle. Classic label, alien hops Men in Black style. Thick, black pour with a half inch layer of tan froth that laces beautifully. Loved the aroma, smells like freshly cut pine, roasted grain and chocolate chip cookies. Flavor is heavily roasted with significant char taste. A little chocolate and hop resin are present behind all that roast. Bitterness abounds throughout each sip, but isn’t overblown. Mouthfeel is medium, with an oily texture and lively carbonation. Sharp, dry and bitter finish on the back of the tongue. More like a very hoppy, roasted porter than an IPA to me. Enjoyed this one, but would have liked a little less roast and a more prominent hop flavor.

Black pour with a huge and fluffy tan head. Aroma is is of chocolate and citrus hops. Full bodied with high carbonation. Sweet flavor, bitter chocolate with a resinous piney/citrus hoppiness. Lingering citrus aftertaste. I didn’t think this one would work. It is unique, complex and tasty.
