Can from Lifecraft, Cowes, IOW. Dark brown, almost black, opaque with a sizeable beige head. Lots of pine and liquorice in the aroma, with a bit of molasses. Taste is quite sweet, followed by a lovely moment of alnost umami moment with a touch of Marmite, followed by piney bitter hops to the finish. Liquorice and Marmite chocolate in the aftertaste. I've had a few so-so black IPAs lately that were basically hoppy stouts (and not very hoppy at that) but this is the real deal.
