This is one half of a Black and Tan. Not just any Black and Tan, but the one where a hoppy smug and a toasted fella get together to make a sublime Taiji balance. Mix the Yin & Yang together (or enjoy this flipping good Imperial IPA solo).

On tap @ BrewDog Shepherds Bush. Dark amber or light brown: take your pick. Whisky/port aroma, blackberries and plastic. Taste is not particularly great I am afraid. A plasticy bitter/sour with an unfortunate aftertaste. This is not Evil Twin’s finest hour.

Keg at Brewdog Shepard’s bush. Golden coloured pour with a lasting white head. Aroma is wood, oak, spicy hop, orange peel and warming alcohol. Flavour is big grapefruit back of the throat bitterness, semi sweet, alcohol and some Belgian yeast characters. Palate is resin and oily on the tongue. Flavour also has varnish and resin. Harsh lingering bitterness and alcohol. Balance is off.

12oz bottle. Pours an amber gold, somewhat hazy, big off white head, soapy lacing on the glass. Typical American DIPA aroma of grapefruit, citrus, some caramel malt. Same as the taste with some chalkiness and more of a malt profile than originally expected but still a hop bomb. Finish is long and bitter. More balanced than some of the DIPA, but very enjoyable as a hophead.

Tap@Fermentoren, Copenhagen (24/05/2014) - fuzzy amber pour with good white head and persistent lacing. Great hoppy mix of tropical and citrus fruits, grapefruit, mango and mandarin peel, sweet caramel malts, lovely bitter finish. Beautiful.
