A rich Black IPA brewed in collaboration with Dark Element, a vibrant dry hop of Simcoe, Wai-iti and Motueka — bringing lime zest, pine, and stone fruit to the fore. Mosaic and Columbus lay the foundation for bold bitterness and depth, with Saturated yeast rounding everything into a soft, balanced finish. Dark, hoppy, and full of intrigue.

Keg at Shakespeare's ACH, Sheffield - Jet black with a tan head, lots of ashy pine and spruce in the aroma. Crisp and tangy citrus, pine with a fruity edge that makes this decent.

Can sourced from Fuss Club at home in London - 25/11/2025 Roasted malty and solid hoppy aroma and taste, getting some nice citrus fruity goodness coning through, pine needles, charred ashy earthy malts, singed brown sugar, citrusy fruity piney hoppy and light to medium ashy roasted malty finish. Very nice BIPA.

440ml can. Pours a very dark brown with a beige head. Aroma of citrus, grapefruit, lime, some chocolatey and roasty malts. Taste is also hop-forward, citrus to the fore with plenty of grapefruit and lime, very zesty, citrus peel, malts are chocolatey and light roast, some bitterness in the finish but somewhat low for the style, probably wants a little more. Medium bodied. That's a beautiful BIPA to be fair, a little more bitterness and this'd be spot on for me.

On tap at Low Key Taproom Ashford. Near black beer. Thin beige head. Some dark malt and lime on aroma. Quite light in terms of malt. Lime hop finish. Not very bitter. Its quite lime exciting. Good enough.
