Bottle picked up by dad from Oakchurch, Staunton on Wye, Herefordshire and consumed at Spond, Herefordshire Sunday 14th July 2019. Pours hazy almost a little murky dark brown edging towards black with an off white head, I can see that this sits somewhere between an Imperial Stout and a Black IPA, however for me the fresh, clean, green hoppiness just about rules the roost over the roastiness. It's good, it doesn't taste 10%

Cask at GBBF '18, day 4, 10/08/18 thanks to the King of Malmo for the pour! Extremely dark mahogany brown with a decent beige covering. Nose is boozey, fruit cake, sweet malts, caramel, light pine dusting. Taste comprises sticky fruits, sweet malts, light spice, liqourice, boozey dance, treacle toffee, light pine. Full bodied, cloying feel, sweet and sticky rising boost in the close with a dusting of hops. Doesn't really come off on cask - a 10% CDA ! Fun enough sipper but a full pour of this one would soon become a chore.

10% Cask handpull at GBBF 2018. Black beer lasting tan head. Big chocolate aroma. Wow that's big. But not too hot. Some molasses. Dark fruits. Some jam. More an imperial stout than black ipa. Decent. Sweet malt.

Cask massive thanks to Lars. It pours darkest brown with a beige head. The aroma is sweet, oily, dark chocolate, aniseed, charred wood, liquorice and rocky road. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, oily, chewy, charred wood, umami, liquorice, tar, dark fruit, plum, prune, peppery spice and some alcohol warmth through the finish. Full body and fine carbonation. Sticky and oily. Not bad hefty stuff.

Black beer, bubbly beige head. Smell is dry, malty. Taste has a big hit of tangy, sweet dried fruit, some aniseed. It's decent but not worth the damage you could do yourself at this strength.
