ABV: 4.8% IBU: - Ticks: 5
A black IPA that is brewed with a multitude of hops and sits comfortably on a roasty base of dark malts. Dense citrus, coffee and chocolate notes with a dry and resinous finish make this a dark beer for those who don’t want to leave the hops behind.

Bottle bought from Beerfly, Bedford. Brown and translucent. Looks a bit more like cola than beer in my glass. Drunk at home. Lots of roast malt, coffee grounds, some blackberry and plum on the nose. Sweet taste, with just a touch of hoppy bitterness. Heavily roasted malt and ash in the aftertaste. Fairly thin body, soft carbonation. Not very hoppy for a BIPA although it's a decent enough drink.
