Draft at the Sea Farmers Dive Taproom, Whitstable. Poured almost black in colour with an everlasting frothy off-white head. The aroma is roasty, dank, grassy hops. The flavour is over moderate bitter, with a crisp, fresh, dank, light resin, herbal, hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Delt med Rune. Svart. Høyt luftig mokkafarget skum som daler sakte. Litt lacing. Aroma av sjokolade & kaffe. Smaken krydret sjokolade & furunåler. Tørr, lett bitter avslutning.

Keg at the Chelmsford Craft Beer Festival. Near opaque dark brown beer, tidy bubbly pale tan head. Airy palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Fairly mellow dark malts, mild touches of roast, coffee and just a whisper of dark chocolate, pleasant nontheless. Crisp piney hops. Very mild but reasonably bright orange citrus coming through on the back end. Light crisp finish. Not a 'wow' Black IPA, but just really nicely put together and drinkalble, very sessionable.
