First edition of what is apparently intended as a yearly series, a black IPA hopped with Mistral, a new and so far largely unknown French dual-purpose hop variety. Thanks Craftmember for sharing at Loik's tasting! Coarse and irregular, mousy, rather loose and open head over very dark 'caramel brown' beer with ruddy-bronze hue, translucent and not quite 'black'. Aroma of hard butterscotch candy, nut shells, dried grapefruit peel, dried figs, nutmeg, moist peanuts. Sweetish onset, candied date and red apple notes, softish carbonation, resinous and bit glueish mouthfeel; supple caramelly malt sweetish body, nutty, evolving into a spicy finish with some soft nutmeg and wormwood bitterness, yet the nutty and 'hard caramelly' malt sweetness and slickness remains dominant - making this a porter of sorts, rather than a true black IPA. Still an enjoyable, technically very decent beer, though, it just needs (a lot) more of the Mistral, I suspect.

Bottleshare at Chez Smith. Clear deep reddish- amber beer, tidy tan head. Palate is light and fairly dry, decent fine carbonation. Very mild dark malts, a trace of roast. Light piney hop. Little ripe fruits and mild bitterness. Light dry finish. It’s okay, bit wishy washy for the abv.

Bottle at LKS. It pours deep red - brown with is small beige head. The aroma is earthy, woody, coffee grounds, earth and damp cardboard. The taste is dry, earthy, toasty grain, burnt treacle, woody, brown bread and dirt with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. I wouldn’t clock this as a black IPA. Not great.

Sample at NHBF’17. Dark brown colour, off-white head. BIPA? Haha! Aroma is sweet, light floral, hint of resin and juniper, liquorice, hint of roast. Light bodied. Nope.
