We love the oxymoron that is Black IPA! It looks like a stout, but bursts with hop aroma and flavour like an IPA but with a restrained chocolate and coffee taste bringing you back for more. Truly a beer to confuse the senses. A story told that can't be real.

Can at home from Leftfield, 20th May 2021. Pours black, tan head. Aroma is mellow roasted malts, light vanilla and cocoa. Taste is smooth, roasted malts, light ash, mellow, grass and floral notes, yep is a nice CDA and the first Weird Beard beer I’ve had in some time, good

44cl can, BB 28/07/2021, batch # 675.
Noire, col épais crémeux beige.
Arôme est plaisant axé sur les malts - retrouve du grillé, fin chocolaté, presque Vienna avec un rétro houblonné oscillant sur des effluves d'agrumes et finement herbacé - parait un peu plus européen dans l'approche.
Palais est fin malté grillé, note de café avec une pointe de pâle et carapils sur un caractère de bouche sec.
Amertume est plaisante avec des notes d'agrumes et herbacées - effervescence est moyenne voire haute aidant à mettre en avant les houblons.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from Bottle Apostle, South Hackney. Pours black-brown with a dense, frothy beige head. Very nice CDA, moderate sweetness, restrained roast, just a nip of ash, notes of grapefruit, burnt pine, a hint of cocoa, grape. Medium bodied with active, massaging carbonation. Subtle warmth in the finish, further citrus fruits, tangerine, grapefruit, mellow toasted pine and roasted malts. Solid.
