Bottle from Bier Huis, Ossett. Very dark red. Thin, tight, tan head. Milk chocolate. Some coffee. Light gianduja nuttiness. Taste is chocolate sweet, then cocoa dry. Some unripe, red fruit bitterness balances things out. Creamy palate. Dry, long, bitter finish. Good tackle.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol, 6/1/2014. Near black with a slight, off-white head. Big, hoppy aroma with a touch of balancing fruit cake sweetness and trace of roasted malts. Flavour had plenty more orange, cherry and dark fruits, black coffee, some dense, bready malts and a dryish finish. Excellent.

Opaque dark brown beer, good pale tan head. Palate is dry and crisp. Mellow dark malt, touch of lactose and roast. Smooth piney hops and a tiny bit of citrus. Finishes dry with a mildly bitter aftertaste of malt roast and hops.

Half-pint, hand-pulled in The Post Office Vaults, Birmingham on 31 Aug 2013. As the name suggests, this is black in colour, on top a tanned covering of tight foam. The nose was malty, over roasted malts with a liquorice note, coal, weak chocolate and coffee also came to mind as I sniffed away at my glass. Taste wise it was fairly similar to the smells I was getting, but with a semi-hop bitterness throughout each sip: so dark malt led with a hop undertone. The alcohol was hidden well by the flavours and I found it very easy to drink. Wasn’t as rich or smooth in the body: it was being tasted along with a Vanilla Porter which really was rich and smooth, this however was fine for an IPA, black or otherwise, they are not supposed to be smooth.

Aroma: Muted aroma of milk chocolate and raisins.
Appearance: Black body with ruby highlights. Medium beige head that leaves lots of sticky lacing marks.
Taste: Wood, raisins, chocolate and a hint of pepper. Tastes quite boozy. Roasted, bitter finish.
Palate: Medium body with an oily mouthfeel. Light carbonation prickle.
Overall: Rather nice, but I’d prefer a few more fruity hops thrown in to counteract the deep chocolate malt flavours.
