500ml bottle purchased from Bryter Moon Deli, Leicester. Mid-brown, translucent with the tiniest ring of beige head. Big malty notes on the aroma, ash, tobacco. Bittersweet taste, charred toast and some black grape notes before a harsh medicinal bitterness in the finish. Medium carbonation. Not the best black IPA I’ve ever had, so I probably won’t try it again… no more Mr Night Sky!
