Re-igniting the debate of whether it's a stout or a Black IPA (it's a stout, seriously), we've dry hopped this massive beer with a metric tonne of Columbus, Mosaic and Simcoe to add a hoppy bite to all those amazing roasted barley flavours.
Expect a swag bag of bitter, piney and resinous hops paired up with coffee, chocolate and smokey notes for a beer that is as complex as it is delicious.

Level 6 Bottleshare. Thanks to Cloin for the can. Almost opaque dark brown beer, small pale tan head. Smooth and semi dry palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Soft dark malts, a little dark malt cream. Tangy chocolate dark malts. Bitterish and spicy hop finish. Nice but a CDA, all day long. Spicy hop burn linger. Robust.

Can shared in Canary Wharf - cheers to Colin. Pours hazy brown with a creamy tan head. Good stuff, lots of well roasted malts, bittersweet cocoa, scorched earth. Medium bodied with massaging carbonation. Pretty well balanced finish, more charred dark malts, toasted pine. Tasty.

A pesar del estilo en la base de datos y la descripción, a mi parecer más cerca de una BIPA que de una Stout
Se presenta negra, con espuma de color tostado, duración media , algo de encaje. Aroma con notas a pino, resinas mezclado con las notas torrefactas. El sabor es amargo, aparece muy levemente las notas cítricas pero están más presentes aquellas resinosas y lupuladas unidas a las maltas tostadas y al café. Final torrefacto con amargor moderado.

440ml can. Almost black, big beige head. Aroma of piney resin, citrus peel, a bit of roast malts. Taste is massively hoppy, piney, resinous, citrus peel, chocolatey/roasty malts a bit coffee-like, quite a strong bitterness. Medium body. Leans heavily toward the Black IPA side of things, and it's a good one too.
