Black IPA brewed with an abundance of galaxy, chinook, centennial and columbus hops. Post-fermentation this beer is the dry hopped to lift aromas of tropical fruits and grapefruit out of the glass.

Cask at the Lyric - Soho, London. Pours rich black with a frothy, beige cap. Good roasted malt nose, lots of burnt pine, earth, grapefruit and cocoa. Medium sweet flavor with dried citrus fruit, bittersweet cocoa, torched wood and earth, burnt bread. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Has a fairly dynamic cocoa finish, some baking cocoa, some milk chocolate, more bitter burnt pine and earth. Solid offering.
