Can from Real Ale Store, Newark. Almost black colour with a tan head. Aroma has citrus at the forth a rich roasted maltiness. The taste is citrus, chocolate and rich. Well worth it.

Third of a 330cl can on 5th Feb 2016: in De Bierboom during the 4th International Beer Exchange Evening. My second beer from the huge selection brought by everyone in the room. As the style might indicate, this was a black bodied beer, the head a full and lasting beige covering. Slight citrus leanings in the nose and taste with a malty backbone that prevented the citrusy hops running away with the taste and aroma by adding a chocolate trace to everything..

330ml can from Bier Huis. Black brown colour, beige foam head leaving lacing and aroma of smokey, roast malt and tangy citrus hops. Flavour is roasted malt, ash, coffee, dark chocolate with some hoppy grapefuit & pine bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry roast earthy bitter finish. Nicely balanced, very drinkable black IPA.

500ml bottle from Appleyards, Shrewsbury. Pours black with large tan head. Lots of roasted malts and bitter pine & citrus. Some earthy bark. Bags of flavour but not really my kind of Black IPA.
