Ohh yeah this was heaven after to many British bitter.
Black color with a fine tan head. Good lacing. Looks nice. Fine intensity in the aroma. Medium + body and a smooth carbonation level. Easy to drink. Semi dry texture and a fine nice tail. Roast, pine, grapefruit hoppy and dark malt in the flavor. Solid.

Bottle from Cornelius. Dark brown body with ruby highlights and a thick beige head. Excellent lacing. Aroma of toast, charred wood, Jaffa Cake and cranberry. Flavour of blueberry, earthy, lime peel, red grapes and a dry finish. Medium body with a frothy mouthfeel. Lively fizz. Another tasty beer from Howling Hops.

At the ultra-cool Tankroom. Black xx this black IPA has a nice chocolatey and hoppy aroma. Brilliantly bright hops. A well balanced flavor of hoppiness in the green pine vein and chocolate malts. Great. 3.8
