It's a black Ipa, but it is not black: it's a brown beer (even if a dark brown beer).
Anyway is not my black ipa, too much easy and not so "black", not so full, not so important.
Black malt notes, some liquorice, herbal at the end.
It's not the first time that I drink it, and my memories were better than now.
Maybe something changed (probably my tastes).

On tap at Be.Re. Really dark brown pour with creamy beige head. Aroma has sweet toasted malt, coffee, light liquorice and resiny hops with some orange rind. Taste is quite IPA forward, the black part is induced only by some light malt roastiness. Hops are mostly resiny with some orange notes and fresh herbs. Light to medium body and carbonation, soft mouthfeel. Overall this is one of the "blind" style black IPAs, really easy drinking and smooth on the palate.

On tap at Craft & Draft Amsterdam, shared by zlotta and markoijelena, thanks! Dark caramel pour. Notes of pine, citrus and caramel, with a bitter aftertaste.

Black color. Cappuccino like foam.
Very fresh smell, godd mix of hops, from resinous to citrus, with a god tangerine. Some spiciness.
Dark malt in the maouth, then hop, liquorice, along with hop and citrus fruit.
Pleasant and well balanced.
Hoppy aftertaste, tangerine again, resinous, and liquorice in the back.

33cl brown bottle purchased from Domus Birrae in Rome.
Pours a murky cola-brown with a fine head of beige that takes some coaxing to form. Fine specks of lace. Body is quite light. Carbonation looks a little lethargic, but it's fine at least. Looks okay, without really being inspiring.
Nose is pleasant enough: malt and roast (if there is any) are extremely muted, meaning the hops are the main event. And they're pretty good in a generic way: clean, mild citrus and a touch of resin. It's not particularly powerful, but it's fresh and pleasant at least.
Taste is also good, but again the malt is very weak, meaning that it tastes a little like a thin hop-driven IPA. On the front, it's all pithy citrus, towards the back it turns more towards pine-resin, and by now there's a slight nuttiness from the malt, muted, but providing a different layer to bounce the hops off.
Feel is very light. It's not bad, but surprising for a beer weighing in at 7.5% ABV.
Overall, it's pretty drinkable, and without much that it asks of you. In some ways, it's a by-the-books IBA, and it lacks any intense creativity or insight, but it's still pretty pleasant to drink.
