(Cask at King William IV, Leyton, London, 21 Nov 2013) Black colour with foamy, beige head. Roasted, malty nose with notes of dark chocolate, pine needles and cocoa. Malty, roasted taste with coffee, dark chocolate, citrus, pine needles and an impressive piney/citric bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with balanced sweetness. Excellent black IPA with an impressive hop presence. Very nice.

Cask at the Euston Tap, 30/10/13. Mid black with a good sized light tan head. Nose is bitter hops, touch of plastic, light roast, hint of smoke, earthy, light tropical fructis. Taste carries a fairly aggressive dose of up front hop bitterness, light cocoa, touch of pine, bitter grapefruit, other tropicals in the background. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry finale with a good dose of hop bitterness. Solid enough CDA if let down a little by the plasticy note I got off the nose.
