Tasting at Oakes' Manor, bottle, vintage 2017
Dark brown colour. Not much of a Black IPA, mostly a rather earthy Brown Ale, strong, with a moderate vinous, sour and fruity note.
Ok.

Medium brown. Thin head. The pinot is fairly present in this, and it lets a lot of tartness. Dry, a bit sourish. I wouldn't say this really comes together.

Jet brown with a rich beige head. Pine and dark fruit and berry notes. Bitter, pine and dark sweet fruit. Weird, but OK.

650mL bottle, pours black with a large beige head. Aroma reveals subdued earthy hops, some vinous notes, and a little roast. Flavour reveals faded earthy hops, bready malt, and lots of strange, perfumey vinous character. This is not a harmonious beer. Lacking cohesion and not all that pleasant. It's OK.

Bottle thanks to Tony. Pours a cloudy brown with medium beige head that lasts. The aroma is nuts, grapes, oak. Slick body, pinot, pine, bitter finish, decent.
