A rich and well-balanced black IPA that combines all the hoppy characteristics of a traditional IPA with a fuller body and a hint of roasted malt.

Bottle shared at chriso’s pre-Christmas tasting 2014 - London. Pours clear brown with a creamy tan head. The nose holds well toasted brown bread, milk chocolate and burnt toffee. Medium sweet flavor with earthy bitterness, bittersweet baking cocoa, dirt, burnt leaves. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Dry bitter chocolate dominates the finish with earth at the edges. OK.

Dark brown in colour, with a decent, beige, head. Sweet caramel and milk chocolate, with some pine, orange peel and coffee notes, leading to a dryish finish. Good.

Bottle shared at chriso’s winter tasting 7/12/2014. Clear dark amber coloured pour with some reddy highlights, with a sticky cream coloured head. Aroma is sweet toffee, earthy, spicy hop, earthy and a bit ofdirt. Flavour is composed of dark choc, biting roast, piney hop, dirty earthy notes are a bit dirty biting dark choc. Little bit of berry and piney hop, but dirty assertive hop bitterness . Not a fan of this.

Bottle from Oddbins, Blackheath. Dark brown pour with a beige head. Roast malt aroma with a splash of blackberries, citrus and some caramel notes. Licorice toffee flavour with a nice kick of bitter fruit. Quite nice.

Bottle split on the train to Tourist Town, thanks to Wingman, 19/11/14. Dark mahogany brown with a decent light tan covering that retains well. Nose is light charr, touch of dank hop, pissy tunes. Taste comprises liqourice, light roast, touch of pine, some light soap lets this one down a tad. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with earthy hop bitterness. Adequate CDA.
