500ml bottle from Saucy Pears, Worcestor. Many thanks Vilma! Pours black with tan head. Aroma is malt roast, grapefruit & light pine. Taste is piney with slick roast and cola with some woody hints. Nice.

Bottle from Brewer’s Droop, Bristol. Near black in colour, with a thin, beige, head. Aroma of grapefruit, chocolate and a touch of toasty malts. Flavour had more tropical fruit, some fruitcake notes, and finished hoppy. Enjoyable.

On keg at the Small Bar, Bristol, 9/1/2014. Near black with a slight, off-white head. Musky, citrus, fruit cake aroma with a touch of sweetness. Solid, malty flavours, with berry and orange fruits, a touch of roast and dry finish. Very good.

Bottle from saucy pear, Worcester. Doesn’t appear to be the one brewed with Wiper and True. (different Abv and W&T not mentioned). Deep almost black colour with a tan head. Really strong citrus and toasted malt aroma, with a really tropical fruit flavour, and a toasted bitter finish.

Cask gravity at Firkin Ale House Folkestone. Black beer lasting beige head. As a dark hoppy beer it’s good. I like the thick malt dark chocolate and thr the grapefruit. Hey surprise I like a black ipa.

Keg at BD Sheps Bush, 04/03/14. Dark mahogony brown with a moderate light tan swirl. Nose is roasty, hop notes, cocoa, brown bread, light pine. Taste comprises dusty hops, pine bite, light mineral twang, cocoa powder, light tropicana. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, piney tickle in the execution. Solid enough CDA.

Keg at BrewDog Shep B. It pours near black with a small tan head. The nose is roasted malt, ash, pine, perfumed, floral, potpourri, earth and light smoke. The taste is roasted malt, coffee grinds, earth, dark choc, pine, floral notes, burnt wood, potpourri and citrus peel with a dry, roasty finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Pretty punchy and lot going on....but balance is not quite there for me. Perhaps too much floral against the background of roasted malts. OK.

Keg at BrewDog Shepherd’s Bush - London. Pours deep brown with a creamy, beige head. Lots of dirty, toasted pine on the nose, some cocoa, coffee grounds and ripe orange, too. Medium sweet flavor, pretty well balanced, with long-roasted malts, earth, burnt wood, grapefruit, orange, sticky pine. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Earthy burnt wood to finish with baking cocoa, scorched pine, rindy and ripe citrus fruits, dried dark berries. Solid.
