Bold, complex and individual 7% Cascadian dark ale, over toned by coffee, grapefruit, liquorice, chocolate, tobacco, soy sauce and blackberries before a finish becomes more roast grain, cocoa and lingering inky dark fruit.

33cl bottle from Beer52.com A deep cola brown pour with a thick tight tan head; rich, piney, Pacific hop aroma; thick syrupy body, with burnt sugar and woody hops; and a satisfying bittersweet finish. Rather good - the best British attempt at a Black IPA I’ve come across.

Keg at Andrew Usher’s. Black body with a huge tan head. Good lacing. Aroma of chocolate cake, orange and coffee. Flavour of orange, blackcurrant, bitter hops and charred wood. Dry finish. Medium body with a creamy texture. Light fizz. Bold and hoppy - I like.
