This beer will positively surprise and play with your mind. It has the strong rich lemony and herbal aroma of an IPA yet the penetrating obscurity and smoothness of a black stout. At the vanguard of our selection, Mat Black is one of our most adventurous beers.

Special note to paradox fans: IBA is our own term for this beer style that is also known as black IPA, American IPA or even American black IPA!

Bottle from the brewer’s own stall at Whitney Food Festival. Murky dark brown with a large beige head. Chocolate and dry roasty notes, plenty of fresh green leafyness, and a light lemon note in the finish. Great BIPA, two beers in and I’m loving this brewery.

50cl bottle from Westholme Stores, Goring. A gushing start - with only about half the bottle making it to the glass - which is disappointing as this turned out to be a decent beer. An opaque peaty brown colour with a loose, billowing cream head; aroma of toast and oats with some lemony citrus; smooth lactic body with more toasted grains; and a dry lemony pine bitterness leading to a long toasty finish.

Bottle from Drunk Dry, Kidlington, Oxon consumed at home Sunday 8th January 2017 Pours black with a large frothy light beige head. Nice aroma, mostly roasty notes on the nose, not really getting the lemony aroma. Loz doesn’t mind it, however she feels it lacks a little in the hoppy department. Soft mouthfeel, fruity with a light bitterness and a touch of burnt toast. Tasty beer, personally I think it is more stout like than a BIPA but regardless it’s really pleasant. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.4
