Cask at GBBF 2015. It pours near black with a small beige head. The nose is rich roast, oily, liquorice, dark fruit and mild berry sweetness. The taste is bitter, hard roast, salted liquorice, umami, toasted sesame seed, light acidity and peppery spice. Medium body and fine carbonation. Plenty of umami character going on. Punchy and enjoyable.

It pours pitch black and leaves the same color body. With a nice foamy one inch mocha colored head, it gently dies to concave lumpiness. Spotty spiderweb lacing is left. The smell is smoky and roasty with the coffee up front, some really light vanilla enters in as the beer warms. The taste is light and gives quite a bit of hops and burnt bread, some coffee, pine and hops enter gently in. The palate is light and bitter, close to watery. There is a good dry finish and a bitter and dry aftertaste. It is fairly drinkable. Overall, not bad, but not memorable, might get it again depending upon what else was offered.

22 oz. bottle purchased @ Smiley’s, Dover, NH. Used English style pint glass. Thick, fluffy, tan head that sits on top. Nose of roasted barley and pine hops. Taste is lots of roasted notes, (malt but mostly barley) light chocolate. A long lasting pine hop finish that lingers far after you finish a sip. Medium to full bodied. It’s funny how the lines of styles in the craft beer world are becoming blurred. If this was in front of me in a blind taste test, I would have said this is a Black IPA. Huge pine hop finish. Good brew.
