A black IPA with a light creamy tan head. Aroma is of roasted malts with hints of gooseberry. It is hopped with Nelson Sauvin, coffee notes round out the beer to give some great flavours. More of a west of Scotland balance to the IPA than a West Coast USA balance, and we think it works really well.
Sanda gets its name from the Sanda lighthouse, located off the southern tip of the Mull of Kintyre in southwestern Scotland.

Black beer with a beige head. Smell is quite sweet with a touch of caramel. The taste is fruity as well with a hearty hop flavour and a bitter which lingers quite bitterly on the tongue. I don’t think there’s any one flavour which dominates which, were it a touch less strong, would probably make it perfect as a session beer for me.

(bottle, 33cl) Dark brown colour with a beige and short foamy head. Roast-malty aroma with notes of dark chocolate, bread crust, liquorice, accompanied by piney and subtle fruity hops. Moderately roasty bitter and slightly sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Roasty malt-character with notes of dark chocolate, liquorice and mocha; a mildly sweet malty touch shows up towards the moderately roasted and piney hoppy finish. Nice little Black IPA. 20.XII.13

Bottle: Deep ruby-amber coloured, small and stable loose tanned head, dry grapefruity and herbal hoppy nose with an even drier roasty background; moderate to solid dryish bitter flavour with a slight residual sweetness, a light acidity barely detectable, light to medium bodied, relatively soft; lingering dryish hoppy and roasty finish. Good, but not completely convincing…

Bottle from Beer Central, Sheffield. Clear, very dark red. Thin, tight, creamy white head. Aroma is all dark malt. Light, roast coffee. Hint of liquorice. Hint of chocolate, too. Lots going on. Taste is where the IPA bit kicks in. Dry, fairly bitter. A little dark chocolate sweetness. Fairly full bodied. Dry, bitter finish. Decent.
