Keyaki. Dark brown colour, small creamy golden head. Aroma is quite full on hoppy bitterness, lemon washing up liquid, some malt too. Taste is good, decent bitterness, and lots of roast. I always struggle to pick out intricacies in black IPAs, but this is pretty solid. Finish is bitter, but in a coffee way rather than a hoppy way. Pretty easy drinking.

5% on tap at Bungalow. A dark reddish brown with a light beige head. A citrusy nose with a solid malt backbone. A solid japanese black IPA, ascerbic citrus flavor with a chocolatey coffee malt backbone.

Tap at Hop Revolution 2013. Black and shiny. Big chocolate malt nose, with nice hops, though not the huge west coast blast, more earthy, grass, light citrus in the back. Rich malt flavor, again nice hops, grassy and earthy. Very refreshing and likeable.

Draft - Roasted malts, coffee and chocolate. Complete a sense of hops on the nose. Jet black with a thin brown head. Roasted malts, coffee and a punch of hop bitterness that accentuates the coffee. This come across like a bitter coffee beer, more than anything else.

Tap @ Hoprevolution Vol.2. Pours pitch black, with a nice head that reduces to a decent lacing. Aroma is fruity, some roast and some grain also there. Taste is really roast, more than I could expect from the aroma. Nice palate-cleaning carbonation, dry aftertaste. Nice beer that I would like to drink more if I can find it again.

the name is a bit of misnomer as it really isn’t too much thunder, but enjoyable. Big roasted character. Mouth is medium body and bitterness is restrained, but balanced. Decent, not aggressive, but enjoyable
