A new-age classic style that we've re-mastered and re-brewed for the first time since 2014. An IPA, in all respects but appearence.

Keg at the Euston tap, aroma is choc and berries, nepoletan ice cream. Flavour is jam packed choc, light mellow roast, JAM, orangey piney hop. A little delicate spice in the finish. Carbonation is high, tingley on the tongue. Roasty lemony finish. Very nice drop.

Bottle from Cornelius. Dense black body with a thick off-white head that holds well. Excellent lacing. Aroma of grapefruit, pineapple, oranges and a hint of chocolate - such a bright, fruity aroma for a Black IPA. Delicious tropical fruit flavour with a big hoppy hit. Medium body with an oily texture. A stunning Black IPA that leans more towards an IPA than a Porter.

200ml from tap at Mikkeller & Friends, shared with Skinnyviking. Coal black body, tiny layer, fragile lacing. Dark fruity aroma joined by roasted malts. Dark leafs to the taste buds mingled with roasted malts, including a touch of coffee. Malt bitter ending. Easy to drink and easy to enjoy (Copenhagen, 22.05.2013).

500mL bottle, pours a deep dark brown / near-black with a fairly large foamy tan head. Aroma of toasted malt, a light-to-medium piney hop accent and some bready notes. Flavour is very dry, with dry bready toasted malts, piney hops, and a little wood. No where near as flavourful as the Imperial Black IPA -- this tastes like a baby version. Well-balanced with a very dry palate. Good stuff, but leaves something to be desired.

Bottled. Black colour with a beige head with good duration. Aroma is roasty, light caramel and coffee. Flavor is medium to strong bittery, with chocolate, resins and coffee notes. The final is strong bittery with a good duration and a medium astringency on palate.

15/04/2013 Ma che siete venuti a fà (tap). Nera, abbastanza densa, schiuma beige leggera e non molto persistente. Naso armonioso, tostato che si sposa bene con il luppolo, lieve caffettoso, un po’ di cioccolato, note fruttate, agrumate e pinose. In bocca è altrettanto equilibrata, con corpo medio-leggero, buona beva, discreta secchezza e amaro persistente. Non male come black IPA.

50 cl bottle @ Olutravintola Konttori, BBE 11/2013
Aroma has vanilla. coffee and raspberries - very typical to black ipa. Flavour is odd with resiny hops, coffee, some chocolate and nettles. Finishes with vichy and cardboard. Perhaps a bit past its prime.
