Large sample in Schooner, Sunset Beach about 10 miles from the brewery on 15th July 2014. Labelled as a black IPA by the bar, they were telling the truth, this is a very dark brew, the head a tanned blanket of foam. The nose and taste were malty and sweet, with a liquorice undertone. Strange overall taste and feel to the beer, could not quite put my finger on it but, I did not buy a pint preferring the Firestone Wookey Jack sample I was given to compare.
