Cask at the Southampton Arms, London on 25th July 2013. Deep brown/black with tan head and initial lacing. Rich pungent yeasts, thick, rich fruits and malts in aroma. Intensely flavoursome liquid with citric notes, rich roasty malts and smoky touch. Small sips provide best enjoyment. Finish is fruity, roasty and with a lush citric note. Smooth texture and medium body for the strength. Great black IPA.
