Bottle at BrewDog Camden. It pours very dark brown with a small beige head. The nose is smoke, BBQ flavoured crisps, fire lighters and toast. The taste is roasted malt, toast, smoke, hint of caramel, cola, light sourness, ash and some bitterness with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Not particularly complex but a solid brew nonetheless.

Cloudy amber beer, big pale cream coloured head. Airy palate, a little dry. Lovely fruity hops - tangerine, lemon and lovely tropical fruits including a little melon. Minty pine/ Mild minerals. Fairly neutral malt base. Dry finish with a minty fruity hop aftertaste. Great stuff!

Opaque black beer with a big pale tan head. Smooth palate, semi dry and with fine carbonation. Dry dark malt, creamy and with a whisper of roast. Bitter hops, touch of citrus but mostly just bitter. Finishes dry and bitter. Too dry and bitter. A head scratcher this one - everyone seems to love this except me. Must try another bottle. 2.3

Opaque black - brown beer, good pale tan head. Soft palate. Creamy dark malt. Mild piney hops. Trace of red berry fruits. Finishes smooth. Fairly simple stuff but this bottle hung together well whereas my first one was a mess,

Bottle at home (Beermerchants.com) 22/11/12. Pours a light shade of black with a mahooosive frothy tan head. Thins after a few minutes but retains well. Good lacing follows. Nose is absoultely spot on - hops, big shreds of pine, little toastyness, tropical fruits with grapefruit and mango at the fore. Taste is bitter grapefruit, pine, juicy hops, a little spice, light chocolate notes. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, bitter and sweetness in the finish. Excellent Black IPA from this new (ish) London brewer

Cask at Union Tavern, London. Pours clear, copper-gold with a fine, foamy white head. Lightly toasted bready malt nose. Light to medium sweet flavour, lots of faintly toasted bread, very light leaves and toasted grass, hints of caramel and orange. Light to medium bodies with fine carbonation. Sweet finish with lots more bready malts, hints of toffee, low bitterness. Great sessioner.

Bottle at home. It pours amber with a thick off-white head. The nose is rather soft, fresh. tropical fruits, juicy citrus, pepper, light spice, earth and white grape. The taste is crisp, clean, bitter citrus, tangy orange, tropical juice, soap, floral notes, grass, earth and light spice with a long, very dry finish. Medium body, soft carbonation and good balance. A well-crafted APA. Update: Now that cans are readily available I crush this on regular occasion. Fresh this APA is truly a delight.
