Bottle online from Stori, Bala. Pours black with beige to tan foam. Aroma: malty, toasted, cocoa, light liquorice, citrus, light tropical notes, grass. Taste: light to moderate sweet & moderate bitter. Not bad, but as another correspondent notes it lacks any piney hop bite.

Near black with a tight, frothy tan head. Roasted malt, some chocolate and a hint of hops on the nose. Fizzy and smooth, with chocolate malt, mild coffee bitterness and a dry bittersweet finish

500ml bottle from Everyman's, Shrewsbury. Pours dark, off-white head. Nicely rich dark ale, liquoricey feel but doesn't come across like a black IPA necessarily, lacking that sharp hop pine bite one is accustomed to nowadays. Decent sipper.
