Smooth and quite solid Black IPA.

Bottle, this is now a little alcohol weaker than before.
The beer is unclear and is in a dark brown / black color.
The foam is beige to brown, which is medium to large bubbles.
The foam subsides at the right pace and leave the fine grooves in the glass.
The fragrance has a lot of malt itself, and good toasted notes.
Aromas of dried fruits, chocolate and some hops arrive.
A little citrus, grapefruit, toffee, spices and a little dark bread.
The taste is roasted malt with a pronounced bitterness.
Here comes the chocolate & coffee out some quiet, some hops tones.
Grapefruit, citrus, ginger, spices.
Some malt sweetness, with a nice low bitterness itself.
The aftertaste is good with just enough chocolate and roasted notes.
Occasionally with bitterness that flows by.
Maybe a little watermelon at the end.
Alcohol has been a little lower than before, but I would probably claim it a little stronger.
