You may have had Black IPA, but you’ve never had a Double Black Belgian Rye PA.
Cohort is a double IPA brewed with Pale, Rye, Carafa and other speciality malts that marry together with a plethora of New Worl hops and a Belgian Yeast to create something entirely unique.
The New World hops mesh together to create an intensely fruity and resinous aroma and taste. A forgiving sweetness balances the insane amount of hops used in this Belgian Beast

Keg at the Euston Tap, London. Like a black IPA, but not quite there. Doesn’t have much kick. Some pine and decent roast. Bitterness fades too quickly. Also has some slightly soapy Belgian-esque character. OK. It’s not bad, there’s just nothing too exciting here. I think I need to try this beer again as this experience seems atypical against other reviews.

330ml bottle. Pours black with a medium head. Aroma is coffee, grapefruit hops underneath. Taste has some roastiness and rye to start. Bitter, spicy finish. Low carbonation. Trying to be too many things.

Bottle from Summer Wines Online Store. It pours pretty much black, with a thin tan head. The nose is smoke, dark fruit, berry, varnish, roasted malt and rich coffee. The taste is roasted malt, coffee, toast, tar, spice, citrus pith, resin, liquorice, umami aspect, smoke and bitter chocolate, with a long bitter-dry finish. Some lingering warmth. Medium-full body, moderate carbonation and slightly oily mouth-feel. Good depth of flavour and balance. Yet another great beer from SW.

Purchased from Beer Ritz, Headingley, Leeds, W.Yorks 17.03.12 consumed at home Tuesday 20th March 2012 (I think) A little beef stock comes from somewhere with a steady stream of hops also showing. Smooth and slick with an oily citrussy flavour starting to assert itself. Bitterness is tempered a little, roastiness showing, quite lovely beer, citrus once again in the mouth, this just gets better and better the more you sup. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.8

33cl bottle, thanks to Stewart. Pours cappuccino - head was decent to start with but fell away. The nose has black cherries and chocolate - black forest gateau. The taste is more cherries, a bit of smokiness then chocolate on the end. The palate is rich and complex, tangy texture and a lovely elegant finish. Overall, an excellent beer
