Cask at the brewery. Pours deep brown with a beige cap. Aroma: burnt malts, liquorice hints, hoppy. Taste: light to moderate sweet & moderate bitter, soft roasted malts, hoppy tones coming through towards the finish. Medium body with soft carbonation. Unusual BIPA but decent flavours

Bottle from Bicester Avenue Garden Centre at 4.8%. Mahogany-black with a thick beige to tan coloured head and a light fizz. Coffee and caramel up front then wood and a hint of pine and spice. Nice chewy mouthfeel and quite a dry finish. I liked this.

From wooden cask, third shared with Finn at Manchester Beer & Cider Festival, Wood Bar. Deep black coloured body, poor lacing, patchy head. Chocolate-grainy aromas, promising. Blended taste of dark malts, moments of chocolate and liquorice. Has got a piney touch to a malt-driven end. Pleasant. (2nd day of the festival, 23.01.2020).

Bottle from the Blue Glass, Bedford. Darkest brown and only slightly translucent and a light off-white head. Burnt malt aroma with hints of salt liquorice. Bitter, bitter taste with super roasted malt and some berry-laden hop in the finish. Black grape in the aftertaste. Flat body. Not a typical Black IPA but I found this surprisingly good.
