Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - opaque black with a lovely fawn head. Nose - creamy chocolate. Toffee. Taste - more creamy chocolateand this chocolate and thenroast and liquorice. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry crunchy finish. Overall - more a creamy stout than a black ipa. Good.

Bottle from eebria shared with Ashton McCobb. Pours black with a thick beige head. Aromas of light liquorice, chocolate, ash and burnt grapefruit. Taste is light chocolate, bitter, green, more charcoal. Chocolate builds on the finish, cakey. Nice but not BIPA territory for me.

Keg at Torrside Brewery Open Weekend, New Mills, Derbyshire, Saturday 10th December 2016 Pours dark brown very dark chestnut, peeling away to brown at the edges with a slim off-white sticky head. Like the other BIPA this is quite cold so nose is a bit muted. Good straightforward BIPA, hoppy blast but nice roastiness throughout, it’s a really good beer. Dry finish, really good.
