Power black color with a huuuuuuughe beige head. Yes it was over carbonated. Unfortunately. Quite fizzy mouth feeling. Apart from that not very black ipa ish. Very roast dominated flavor. Also coffee and chocolate. Would have been a fine beer with a lower carbonation level.

25th Aug 2017. Gravity poured half-pint during the 8th Annual Beer Festival at The Bridge End Inn, Ruabon. Slight haze to my golden pour, weak and thin white head. Floral and citrusy nose wise, taste also leaning towards a fruity and citrusy flavour. Malts definitely take a back seat in this brew.

Cask @ Salopian. Pours clear gold, small white head. Aroma is floral, lightly hoppy. Taste isn’t particularly fruity, as the name would suggest, but there are some nice floral, fruity undertones to this. Soft bitterness, drying close.

Bottle shared in London - many thanks to Daniel. Pours clear, deep brown with a frothy, light tan head. The nose holds charred green pepper, light cocoa, soft roast. Light sweet flavour with modest chili spice, some chalky cocoa, a little earth. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Finishes with more low chili burn, more cocoa, some scorched earth. Not bad.

Bottle at level 42. It pours dark brown with a small beige head. The aroma is toasty malts, stinky, cheesy, blue cheese, chocolate, berry skin and plastic. The taste is quite sweet, sticky, plastic, vegetal, earthy, wood, rubber, oily, artificial vibes and jammy berry with a sweet, oily finish. Medium body and average carbonation. Hot shit.

Bottle split at L42, thanks to Daniel, 19/07/17. Dark mahogany brown with a decent beige cap. Nose is cocoa powder, light spice, toffee, charr. Taste comprises green pepper, chocolate, brown bread, earthy fruit rinds. Thin body for a 6.7% beer, pretty watery and flat. Not great.
