04.05.2013, 0,35l bottle sampled @ CBC:
Frisk lukt med preg av m�rk malt, humle, gummi, barn�ler, lakris, gras, kakao, lauv, litt t�rka frukt og alkohol. Frisk smak med preg av m�rk malt, masse humle, barn�ler, lakris, gummi, kaffi, brent karamell, v�te blad, gras. God bitterhet som set litt. Grei.

Aroma: chocolate, vegetables, roasted grain mainly. Maybe some unpleasant oxidation notes, but beer wasn't fresh. Taste: strong bitterness. Generally this beer is closer to some stout ot even RIS than CDA IMO. Very nice head with lacing, carbonation is at medium lvl.

Aromat dużo żywicy, kawy, trochę chmielu. W smaku jeszcze lepiej przyjemna goryczka, żywica, trochę słodyczy, finisz wytrawny z paloną goryczką. Plus ładna prezencja

Pours dark brown, almost black bit a nice tan head. Aroma has some freshly brewed coffee, spruce and pine needles. Some sweeter notes there as well. Taste is super balanced, hop character is still strong but roast is not overpowering and blends in with hops in the finish. Grapefruit seed bitterness combines with dark and deep spicy rye malt character, light roast comes out mainly in the aftertaste. I really like the balanced character of this one, drinks dangerously smoothly, especially when compared with most of the other Black IPA’s I have tried.

Aus der Flasche auf der Berliner Biermeile 2013 getrunken. Schwarzes IPA mit tollen Südfrucht-/Grapehruitnoten in der Nase. Am Gaumen bleiben zwar nur die Graphfuritnoten, dazu kommt das die Bitterkeit fast hinter den schönen Malznoten verschwindet. Doch in der Summe doch recht ausgewogen. Feine Teil!

Chmielarnia Marszalkowska. Przyjemna zywiczna goryczka z palonym finiszem. Na poziomie.

W aromacie żywiczny zapach, sporo slodowości, takie zboże. W smaku goryczka na początku całkiem przyjemne goryczkowe, potem wjeżdża mocna paloność.

Bouteille datée du 16/02/2016, bue après près de 15 mois. Robe noire opaque et surmontée d’un col de mousse beige et onctueux. Arômes de liqueur d’orange, amandes, pamplemousse, caramel salé, malt grillé, café, chocolat au lait. En bouche, malt grillé, orange sanguine, zestes d’agrumes, café et traces de résine de pin. Petite dose de céréales poivrées qui complètent bien l’amertume des houblons. Finale plutôt sèche mais qui laisse tout de même entrevoir un goût de chocolat noir qui persiste surprenamment longtemps. Saveurs bien balancées, le seigle n’est pas trop mis de l’avant. Manque un peu de complexité par contre. Texture huileuse et collante, corps moyen.
