Ok everyone is assuring me this is a different beer than their Black Bitter so I added it to the database. 5% 50 IBU On tap at Bungalow. I’ve been wanting to try this for awhile and it has finally been released. It pours a dark reddish-black with a creamy beige head that becomes black with ruby highlights in the glass. A soft cocoa powder aroma wafts from the glass, the taste is bitter dark chocolate, tannic, cocoa, vanilla, with a dry finish from the bitter black malts. It is quite thin bodied and has some roasty qualities in the aftertaste. Soft fairly rounded carbonation, as it warms up you get more acrid bitter dark malts. Not balanced but not that bad. This needs tweaking like the Black Bitter which has improved quite a bit from the last year’s version.
