A straight-up IPA that delivers big, rich, soft berry fruit flavour and aromas from the massive amount of dry-hopping, all wrapped up in the aesthetic of a beautiful jet-black beer.

Tight beige head left a blotchy cover & collar on a jet black still body. Zesty aroma of citrus, Tropical fruit, dark berries & malt - Weird! Medium bodied, oily yet sharp on the palate with a clean cut back. Malt, under ripe berries, dark chocolate & citrus tastes with a long tangy pine finish. Sounds odd but all blends together really well.

Can from Tesco. Dark brown, small head fades to ring. Aroma is nutty, sweet, malty. Taste brings some roasty notes and mild bitterness. Mellow for a black IPA

Heel knap. In een ondoorzichtig glas zou ik nooit geraden hebben dat dit een zwart bier is. Typische IPA met heel licht koffietintje.
