A core range beer available in Keg and Bottle. Black IPA, Cascadian Dark Ale, American Black Ale, Black Pale Ale – take your pick! It’s a style which causes much discussion. Our version is not exactly black but a very dark brown. It has the typical high-hopping rates you’d expect of an IPA and roasted flavours are kept to a minimum by using the darker malts – Carafa2 and black malt – at the end of lautering, extracting only the colour. High-hopping rates are achieved with the late addition of Cascade, Summit and Citra hops to add citrus, floral and tangerine aromas.

Caak at the brewery. Clear dark brown coloured pour with a lasting loose beige head. Aroma is a bit odd, woody roasted malts and apricot / peach yogurt. Some jammy berries on the nose as well. Flavour is composed of nutty roasted malts, jammy fruit, pine needles, little plastic. Apricot jam. Mid bitter roast in the finish. Palate is bland, medium bodied, milky, lowish condition. Meh.

Cask at the Wellington, Birmingham. Poured a clear dark reddish brown with a bubbly off white head. The aroma is roasted smoky malt, rich red berry fruit, light spicy hop. The flavour is moderate to light bitter, light sweet with grassy hop, smooth rich ripe fruit, light pepper spice palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. It’s one of those beers with the "wow" factor. It’s not what I was expecting at all. There’s plenty going on and it’s so god damn good!
