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.

Sampled @ RB Danish Summer Gathering 2013 day 2, Ulfborg. Bottle. Opaque pitch black color, small light brown head. Smell malts, hops, roastyness and lightly coffee. Taste malts, roasted malts, lightly coffee, nicely bitter, some hops but not enough to be a really good Black IPA. Nice imperial stout though.

Bottle from Corks of Cotham, Bristol. Black with a big, tight tan head. Pine and citrus hop aroma with a touch of fruit cake and trace of marmite yeastiness. Flavour had solid malts, some more citrus fruit and a prickly pine finish. Good.
