Can from the source enjoyed at home. Pours a hazy electric yellow bordering on light orange with a frothy white head that slowly recedes. Earthy grassy lemon and resin with a bit of tropical and citrus fruits. Light bready malt and a bit of warming alcohol. Pretty nice DIPA

Can from the source enjoyed at home. Hazy cloudy bright yellow in color with a bone white head that shows moderate retention. Tropical earthy citrus with hints of pine. Sweet bread and seltzer round out the flavors nicely.

Sample at the source. Inky black in color with a smattering of tan bubbles that dissipate quite quickly. Roasty chocolate and coffee with a hint of brown sugary maltiness. Light spicy peppery roast. Nice beer.

Sample pour at the source. Dark black in color with a thin tan head that slowly dissipates. Rich roasty chocolate roast and caramel with an earthy hop to counter. Plenty of oak tannin, bourbon, vanilla, and just a hint of lactic cherry. Great sipper.

Pours a thick, dark, oily black, with smallish tan head that quickly dissipates. Aroma has loads of chocolate, some licorice, coffee, and dark fruits. Flavor is chocolate, licorice, vanilla, coffee. The peppers are certainly present and only develop some heat after repeated sips--they don't over-dominate the flavor, but really help to bring it out. It's pretty sweet, with a soft, bull mouthfeel. Touch of pepper at the finish. This is a really well-done beer.

Can, courtesy of Leighton. Cheers boss. Pours fairly thick, chestnut brown, that settles nearly black. Fine tan head. Nose has fruity dark chocolate. Peppery spice. Chilli chocolate. Rich toffee and coffee malt. Light cinnamon. Taste is a little sweet and toffee like, with some soft, peppery bitterness. Smooth on the palate, drinking well under the ABV. Light, ear tingling chilli heat. Low carbonation. Spicy chocolate to finish. Nicely done.

Can at home in Hackney - sourced from the brewery. Pours black-brown with a frothy, beige head. Really good fun, cohesive, with moderate sweetness, some chewy chocolate, restrained but present chilli kick, nips of cinnamon. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. A healthy bit of chilli burn in the throat, further semi-sweet cocoa, background roast. Really solid.

Canned, 473 ml at Brewdog Cardiff. Unclear yellow, white head. Fruity, bit resinous, smooth. Sweetish. Lacks aroma, probably a bit old. Medium bodied.
