Keg at The Stockbridge Tap. Black body with a dense beige head. Good lacing. Aroma of blackberries, cocoa powder and charcoal. Flavour of dark chocolate, lime and brambles. Medium body with a slick, slightly sticky mouthfeel. Light fizz. A well made, moreish Black IPA - and my first Black IPA rate in ages. My favourite Cross Borders beer so far.
