Very cloudy. No head. Nose is quite fruity. Has a hint of lemon, papaya. Mango, yes...strawberry less sure of that. Sweet, quite low apparent bitterness, touch of alcoholic dryness. More mango and papaya sort of tropical notes.

On tap at Callister, pours an opaque cloudy dark burgundy with a very small head. Aroma brings out lots of pitted dark cherries, light wood and a touch of balsamic. Flavour is complex and deep, with a nice blend of balsamic, dark cherries and other dark potted fruits, along with some wood and ample acidity. The acidity is rather biting on the finish, but it's very pleasant. Nicely done.

On tap at Callister, pours an opaque filthy creamsicle orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out notes of lactose, subdued strawberries and tropical fruity hops. Flavour is rich and pulpy, with a great mix of tropical fruits, light lactose, and resinous hops. Very pleasant fruitiness and bitterness on the finish. Excellent filthy beer.

Draft - Big tropical fruit notes. Murky orange. Tropical notes, mango peel and a light bitterness in the finish. Creamy and fun, not sure I get the strawberry, although a tinge of mint which may be the leaves.

No head. Dull sorta muddy purple. Basically a blackberry nose. Clean tartness, sharp, cut with a lot of blackberry sweetness. The fruit tartness is nice. Itβs not complex but it does have a really nice character.

Quite cloudy with a medium, bubbly head. Nice weedy, grapefruit hop nose. On the palate, honestly, a lot of that goodness disappears. Itβs sweet, funky yeasty, but what the heck else? The hop beauty is all in the nose.

Growler at Jonnyβs. Aroma is amazing - lots of raspberries and cherries. Taste is very sour, though, and quite dry. Prefer less acidity and more fruitiness in the taste, but it is still good.

On tap at Callister. Pours a dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is roasted malt and coffee notes. Taste is the same with some fruity notes, but without hoppy bitterness. Some hoppy bitterness in aftertaste. Not a very Black IPA, but good.
