Sehr dunkel orangebraune Farbe, ordentliche beige Schaumkrone. Geruch röstmalzig, viel Kaffee, ordentliche gehopft, bitter. Geschmack fruchtig hopfig, gleichzeitig aber auch viel Kaffee, ganz ok aber könnte gehaltvoller sein.

Bottle @ home the day my first child, a son, was born. Dark red-brown (when your glass is half full) to almost black (when your glass is full) color with a nice dark red glare coming through, average sized off-white head that diminishes fairly quickly. Aroma is malts, hops, roasted malts and some liquorice hints. Taste malts, roasted malts, hops, citrus lightly, good solid malt bitter and roasty bitter. Good balance between fruity hops and roasted malts and spectacularly flavorful for a beer of only 4.8% ABV. Solid body too with suitable carbonation. Very well done imo. Or perhaps I’m just overwhelmed by the events of today. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it.

500ml bottle. Clear, ruby red glowing, mahogany colour with average, thick, frothy to creamy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, beige head. Roasty dark malty aroma with coffee notes, a touch of toffee, slightly citrusy hoppy overtones, hints of lemon and orange zest. Taste is roasty dark malty, hints of burnt coffee, citrusy hoppy overtones with a dry touch of orange zest; a grassy hop note as well; lasting bitter finish. Neither overly rich nor strong - easy drinkable beginner’s Black IPA.

Cask pint at Cloisters, Edinburgh on 24th Oct 2014. Pours a dark brown, might even be black (not a lot of light where I was standing), on top a lightly tanned head. Mixed bag of an aroma with citrus notes tempered by chocolate and sweeter caramel maltiness. The taste was similar but not as sweet as the nose suggested, hints of liquorice and dark chocolate towards the end of each sip, and in the aftertaste. Nice.

Bottle from Jacks, Westholme Stores, Goring-on-Thames, Oxon. Consumed at home Sunday 26th October 2014. Very dark brown verging towards (but not quite) black in colour.Creamy tan/light beige head that soon turns to a smaller filmy head. I get fed up of writing citrussy but it is, a little roasty, in fact really quite roasty there is a very light coffee edge. Very good. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.5

Cask at St Albans beer festival 2014, St Albans, Herts. A black coloured pour with a thin off white bubbly head on top. Roasty, malty, citrus aroma. Tastes similar, roasty, malty, citrus. This didn’t taste so good, it was the end of the barrel.

50cl Bottle, tfs R&J! Almost black colour, beige head. Aroma is faint, some coffee & cream, caramel/toffee, light hoppy. Flavour is likewise, more a hopped dry stout with some caramel added. Light-bodied. Smooth and tasty though.
