Bottle shared in London - thanks, Kenneth! Pours clear, rich brown with a creamy, tan head. The nose has toasty herbal hops, pine, soft roast, hints of melon, citrus. Light to medium sweet flavor with up-front ashy roast, baking cocoa, torched earth, charred meat. Medium bodied with fine, creamy carbonation. Light sweet finish, lingering earth, burnt wood and pine, some citrus rind, bittersweet cocoa. Nice.

Bottle. Dark brown beer, creamy white foam. Hoppy nose with notes of caramel and roasted malts. Easy drinkable, light sweet with heavy bitter aftertaste.

Bottle from seabass. Pours out a dark brown almost black topped with a tan head. Nose is roast smoke spice and some herbal hop notes. Taste is as the nose with roast leading the way some tobacco. Not a nw black ipa but still good.

Bottle. Pours black with a huge white head. Herbal, chocolaty aroma. Herbal hoppy taste, citrus, chocolate and lots of coffee beans in aroma. Light quenching texture. A bit dry.

Pours black with a small white head. Aroma is not strong, with a bit of roast, some weaker hops. Taste has some nice roast, hops are coming out better. Dark bitter chocolate with some bitter grapefruit seeds. Tongue ends up feeling dry, with some bitter roast flavours lingering longer. Overall, good black IPA but not very special.

Dark brown color. Very light brown head. Molasses, coffee and dark chocolate nose with just a bit of hops. Moderately aggressive hoppiness, with good roastiness but not a ton of depth. Bitter finish with some roasted malts. Not bad

Aroma of burnt toast and some fresh, green hop. Flavour has many layers of bitterness especially burnt, roasted coffee and malts. The hoppy side adds a freshness which comes through in the finish.
