Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: jet black in the color and in the glass with a two finger eggshell white foamy head which took it's time to dissipate and once it did light lace appeared
Aroma: earthy to citrusy hops are bold and up front; black coffee roastiness follows in with some light ash and woody tones; caramel/toffee malts further down in there
Flavor: blends the previously noted aromas to a fine roasty to sweet quality in the front with more of a subtle ashy bitterness closer to the back; finishes with the black coffee & prior noted hop aromas
Texture: medium bodied, definitely a sipper; light smoothness and the sturdy embrace of "some" palate wrecking capabilities of the hop bitterness fist bumping with roasted coffee tones
Overall: it's a "black IPA" and the palate wrecking capabilities are there but possibly not as strong as some other black IPA's on the market, still I believe I could come back to this one.

Early rating from Beer Buddy app

Pours black with a thin tan head. Aroma of oily malt. Taste has herbal and roasted malt. Palate has thick and bitter coffee notes. Great.

From a 750ml bottle on 27/4/2015 (birthday present courtesy of my wonderful wife). Pours a cloudy dark brown with a medium head. Has a pleasant nose featuring some chocolate malt and light fruity hops. The flavour follows suit, with sweet dark malts (chocolate, caramel), some citrus fruit (orange), and a reasonably firm dash of hops, with just a hint of roastiness in the bitterness. Full bodied with a thick texture and average carbonation. Not the wildest big black IPA out there, but nicely balanced (though ultimately falling on the sweet side) and very cohesive.

750 ml bottle with a date stamped date of 27 Jan 2014. Pitch black color with some mild lasting head in the snifter. Aroma is burnt coffee bean, dark chocolate and pine hops. Flavor is about the same as the aroma. Body is pretty thick with a charred malt and dark grain finish.

Poured from bottle thanks Adrian. Color is dark chocolate with tan one finger head. Aromas of caramel coffee and chocolate. Taste is coffee chocolate and slightly burnt espresso grounds.
