This 5.2% black IPA burns the line between an American IPA and a stout, with malt and hops firing on all cylinders, in psychotic synchronicity. Roasty, chocolate and coffee notes duke it out with citrus, mango and pine. Pithy bitterness plays off roasty dryness. Light bodied, but with the intensity of a beer twice its size.
Hopped with Simcoe, Amarillo and Citra, Arcade Nation showcases the incredible complexity of three of our all-time favourite hops. The twisting flavours change so fast, you’ll need the reactions of a hardened retro gamer to keep up with them.

Keg at The City Arms, Cowley Road, Oxford, consumed at home down the office Saturday 2nd April 2016. Pours black or almost black with a light tan head. Roasty with a little coffee, fruity and tangy BIPA, pretty good hoppiness throughout, we had two so must have enjoyed it. A7 A3 T7 P3 Ov14 3.4

Brewdog Helsinki. Keg. Clear deep red - amber beer, tidy pale tan head. Smooth palate, decent fine carbonation. Mellow dark malts, no roasty bitterness here. Trace of dark chocolate. Smooth piney hops and a whisper of citric hop. Very mild spice. Light finish. Smooth and light, a CDA for people who don’t like CDAs?

Half-pint, draught at BrewDog Nottingham. Jet black body with a deep rustic shade. Fawn-coloured tiny head, spotty lacing. Smell of dark fruit, soot and liquorice. Coffee flavours together with ash and liquorice. Backdrop of roasted malts and pine. Soft in the mouth. Medium bodied. Pretty nice (shared with Finn, 20.02.2016).
