Dark Malt and American hops unite to bring a new age of bitterness. Pithy grapefruit and resin combine with a dark chocolate and roasty coffee hit to deliver a resonating bitterness that goes beyond IBUs.

Can. Brewdog, Sheffield. Clear, dark, ruby red. Dense, messy, lasting, light tan head. Nose has woody, charred pineapple and grapefruit. Some squeezed orange. Burnt rubber malts. Trace of liquorice. Taste is big, gritty, charred bitter. Loads of pith and oily zest. Fairly full body. Soft, foamy mouthfeel. More of the big, oily, charred bitterness on the finish. Very tasty, but a little one dimensional, maybe.

Brewdog Shoreditch. Keg. Almost opaque dark brown beer, good pale tan head. Palate is airy and very slightly soft. Decent fine carbonation. Soft dark malts, a little dark malt cream. Trace of coffee and very mild dark chocolate. Mild hop spice. Red berries. Tropical fruits. Pine. Finishes smooth and leaves a mild bitter linger. A sumptuous and fruity black IPA. Good Doggie!

Keg at BDSB - London. Pours black-brown with a dense, lasting creamy khaki head. Nice roasted malt aroma with accents of orange rind, grapefruit, pine. Medium sweet flavor with good bittersweet cocoa, a bitter mix of rindy citrus and burnt pine, light ash, more grapefruit, faint mango. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation and velvety texture. Assertive ashy roast and butter torched pine to finish, with further baking cocoa, mellow espresso, orange rind, lightly pity grapefruit, hints of tropical fruits. Excellent CDA overall.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - opaque black with a lovely fawn head. Nose - pine and grapefruit. Taste - molasses, black jacks, roast and liquorice. Pine and bitter citrus backdrop. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - it doesnβt really pull together all the expected elements of the style for me. However, it is very balanced.
