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.

Bottle at RBWG 2014, thanks! Pours near black with a dark brown head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has a nice combination of of earthy pine and dark grains with a bit of roasted malts underlying. Flavor has a nice earthy dark grain note with grass and an underlying pine note.

On tap @ Brewdog Camden. They are not lying when they call it black this. No shine through against the light and it has a really good looking heavy lacing light brown top. It has a deep grainy dark aroma. Some really nice coffee and peanuts going on here. As is a little bit of vanilla extract and leather. It has a nice light oily mouthfeel with a just below average carbonation level. Much the same in the taste really. Peanuts with coffee, rye and dark roasted malts. A nice sweetness also here and it's surprisingly leaving a warm sensation on the back of the tongue. Not bad at all! 07.11.2013

Cask @ Gallows Bird ⅩⅦ Real Ale Festival
Aroma is odd with some artifical notes, ash and gooseberry bush -like hops. Flavour has roasted tones, some hops, ash and resin. Dry finish. Odd and messy, but at least the hops are nice.
