An innovative style that matches roasty notes with fruity/hoppy ones. Dry hopped with Sorachi Ace, there are hints of coconut coming through the toastier flavours of the darker malts.

Cask at Craft Beer Co, Covent Garden on 6th July 2014. Black with tan head and scattered lacing spots. Rich and intense roasty aroma with coffee and plum harmonising. Intense roastiness and fine grapefruit in-mouth with plum and nuttiness - hazelnut. Roasty nutty and bitter finish is long lasting, rich and intense with spicy notes. Engaging texture and plenty of body. Truly exquisite. I had a second!

Bottle. Almost black body, clear looking and with a dense, light beige head. There’s a faint touch of cooked vegetables in the aroma, but mostly it’s roasted. Pine cones and resins in the back. It’s quite bitter, with pine cones, resins and roasted malts. Full body, soft carbonation, pretty dry, with roasted malts and bitterness in the finish. Well, too roasted I think, else quite decent. 140608

Bottle from Spirited Wines, Manchester. Black with a large bubbly off-white head. Has a potent tropical fruit hoppiness, It’s strong tasting with a light roasted malt evident, but still with a good dose from the tropics.

330ml bottle. 7.2%. Batch No: 0050. Pours black with a thick foamy beige head leaving lacing and aroma of roasted malts, burnt notes, coffee, hop resin. Taste is sweetish biscuity roast malt, smoke, coffee, dark fruits, berries, tangy grapefruit citrus hoppy & grassy bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft carbonation. Finish is dry hoppy earthy lingering roast bitter. Very drinkable black IPA.

BATCH 50, ABV 7.3%. 330ml bottle from, I think, Kris Wines. Pours a deep black with cream head with a big hit of toasted malts from the start. Dusty cocoa, rubber and a whisper of bitter liquorice. Quite a nice balance, not too rich, thus making it very drinkable for the ABV.

Deep dark ruby color, tiny beige head. Ash, caramel, some citrus hops in the nose. Medium-bodied. Flavor is similar to aroma. Some citrus mixed with roastyness and ash. Nothing wrong here but it’s a beer to drink just one pint.
