Always nice to run into a BIPA, even if they're double. Lots of roast, coffee, lots of hop. Bitter, boozy, some citrus peel, bunch of resin. A heavy one.

On draft (which is too rare). Black. Creamy head (I double taked and thought it might have been on nitro... It wasn't). Roasted malts up the wazoo, with an imperial stout like twist up the back. A cracking good, big beast of a beer.

From a 375ml can on 8/7/2018 (ABV listed as 10%, shared with Butz). Pours a super dark brown with a small to medium head. Smells quite sweet with brown sugar, rye bread, and a hint of licorice. The flavour is super intense, massive, complex and lovely. There's masses going on - chocolate, caramel, sweet and sour citrus fruit, roasted malt, a touch of coffee, and some spice. The hops balance things out beautifully. Has a slick palate and softish carbonation. You can tell it's big, but it remains oh so approachable. Just fucking incredible. The best black IPA (well black IIPA to be more precise) I've ever had. I will be stocking up. Well done Kaiju.

500mL bottle, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of roasted malt and piney hops in good balance. Flavour is robust as hell, with loads of piney hops and robust roasted malt in excellent harmony. Dry, robust and balanced. A wonderfully done big black IPA.

Tasting at Matt’s; 10.5% ABV
Dark brown color, almost black, with compact brown head. The two main expected flavor elements of a Black IPA are there, deep roasted character and resiny hops; it’s powerful, strong bodied, warm from the alcohol, some liquorice, some salt; moderate residual sweetness.
Big beer; very well brewed.

Bottle from Brewcraft (thanks Kenneth!) at home in new apt. Second or third time I've had this in the past few weeks. Had been on my wish list for a while and it lives up. Dark black pour huge puffy light light tan head. Aroma is big but not huge roasted coffee and malt with fruity white wine hoppiness. Some booze too. Taste is huge - palate rich and smooth but not too thick - sharp bitter pine hops with some coffee bitterness, sweet toasted marshmallow malts, bitter boozy finish that lasts. Excellent black IPA.

Draft at Smith Street Taps, Singapore. Poured almost black with a thin broken tan head. The aroma is roasty malt, grassy hop. The flavour is moderate to strong bitter with a big citrus grass hop bitter, light burning alcohol palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. At 11% you can tell the alcohol is there but it’s not dominating the beer.
