About

Tot Op 't Bot from Stadsbrouwerij 013 in Tilburg is a Black IPA that marries dark appearance with the fruity character of an IPA. The beer won the title of best Black IPA at the Dutch Beer Awards in 2021. The nose and palate are dominated by a complex profile of coffee and pine, complemented by fresh fruitiness. Roasted malts provide depth, while robust hop flowers bring distinctive aroma and pleasant bitterness. This is a full-bodied beer that balances the coffee bite of a stout against the hop-driven fruit of an IPA. Stadsbrouwerij 013 brews characterful beers with traditional roots but a modern flavour profile. Tot Op 't Bot exemplifies this approach.
