A blend of pale malts, oats and touch of caramel & dark malts give this BIPA its deep black colour and silky texture. A selection of US hops adds pungent pine and stone fruit flavours to the mix, creating a roasty, aromatic beer with a pronounced bitter finish.

330ml bottle from Cotteridge Wines. Pours black, no head. Aroma bears a pleasant sweetness thats hard to define. Taste is oily, lacking carbonation and body, but possessing that aforementioned sweetness that rescues things alongside some nice chocolate and dark berry fruit hints.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Cotteridge, Birmingham, Sunday 3rd January 2016 consumed at home the same day. Pours black as yer at with a tan head on top. Not so much of an aroma on the nose but there is a little fruity and maltiness to be picked up. Drinks a lot easier than an 8% beer should, thick mouthfeel a nice roastiness and good sweetness, produces a fair amount of hoppy burps, so hops aplenty. The best I’ve had so far from Pentrich.
