A quadruple hop, 7% sinner of a Black IPA, mashed with chocolate and caramel malts to create a pitch-black colour and filthy rich flavour. Northern hemisphere hops are added in ever increasing volumes giving a huge hoppy flavour. We dry hop the beer creating an intense tropical, lemony aroma. Dark in colour, dark in nature.
Malts: Black, Crystal Extra Dark, Chocolate & Marris Otter
Hops: Sorachi Ace, Azacca, Centennial & Comet

5th best of the St Albans bus replacement crawl. Aroma of pine, biscuit, tropical fruits, pineapple and waxy. Very bitter tropical pine finish. Not really a fan of this hop but not bad.

Bottle shared in London - big thanks to Scopey. Pours deep brown with a big, foamy, khaki head. The nose holds ashy roast, dry cocoa. Light sweet flavour with woody dryness, earth, baking cocoa, minerals, grass, tobacco. Medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Quite dry in the finish, some coffee, drying wood, cocoa, orange peel. So so overall.

Bottle shared at L42. It pours darkest brown with a thick light tan head. The aroma is fresh, charred pine, earthy, charred pine, cocoa, rocky road, cookie dough, bit of spice and chocolate ice cream. The taste is dry, bitter, charred wood, pithy, pine, burnt pine, peppery spice, liquorice, pithy, soapy, straw and fruit cake with a dry, toasty finish. Medium body and high, foamy carbonation. A bit harsh, but ok.

Bottle split at the L42 Xmas Boost Up '17, thanks to Paulo, 18/12/17. Dark deep mahogany brown with a decent beige covering that retains well. Nose is light plastic, grains, spice, toffee, hint of cocoa powder. Taste comprises black peppery spice, mineral bite, light pine, dark toffee, cocoa bite. Medium bodied, spritzy and overcarbed, drying close dusted with earthy hop bitterness. Average CDA ... nose and mouthfeel drops this for me.
