Bottle. Black body with a medium beige head. Good lacing. Aroma of ashy coffee, burnt toast, dark chocolate and dark fruits. Flavour of blueberries, plain chocolate and toffee. Medium body with a creamy texture. Soft fizz. Very enjoyable.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines. Cotteridge, Birmingham, consumed at home Friday 20th November 2015 A beautiful looker, black with a humongous off-white foamy, creamy textured head. A damn good BIPA, soft in the mouth but a real citrus punch, lots of pithiness, but some dark malts to soften any harshness and a nice sweetness which also assists. This is fab. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.8

Bottle from Cotteridge wines. Almost black colour with a foamy tan head. Aroma is fruity, berries, and roasted malt. Taste is balanced, not big hops, but very fresh.

Tasting at Paul and Lorna’s flat. Deepest Croydonia. Thanks to our gracious hosts for this one. Opaque brown beer, big fluffy pale tan head. Palate is airy and semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Mild dark malts, creamy, just a touch of roast. Nice tangy dark fruits overlaid with spicy pine hops. Nicely joined up and very drinkable.
