The taste: Black Friday is a pilsner unlike any you’ve had before. Stained black in the brewing process and made using super-sized hops of Saaz descent (Premiant from Czech Republic and Motueka from New Zealand; Saaz is the traditional pilsner hop), it’s got a cocoa-like foam, it’s nutty and chocolatey to begin and then finishes with an elegant and classic clean pilsner finish – it plays tricks on your tongue, starting dark and finishing light. The hops then give lemon spiked with herbs and a tropical fruit background. It’s lager but it’s different.
Malt: Pilsner and Roast Barley
Hops: Premiant and Motueka

On tap at BrewDog Camden, London on 4th August 2012. Black with off-white head and a little lace. Fruity aroma with plenty of roast malts. Rich malty and slightly smoky main taste - berries, coffee, toast and smoke. Plenty of flavour foci. Tangy citric kick. Bitterish end with roastiness and tanginess. Zingy mouthfeel.

Draught@Brewdog Camden, London. More or less black colour, small brown head. Aroma is roasted malts, toffee, dark ripe fruits, some mild raisins as well as mild notes of rye. Flavour is being quite similar in a very nice balance.

Opaque black beer, little pale tan head. Palate is a little crisp and quite dry. Minerals. Dry dark malt, a little roast, but not bitter. Tiny bit of citrus in the minerally semi dry and crisp finish. Not bad and I think my first Black Pils!
