Keg at BD on da Bush, 01/07/14. Black with a good sized tan head that dissipates but retains. Nose is dark malt, Ribena berries, bourbon notes, earthy hop, light roast, dark chocolate Bounty bar. Taste comprises cocount fudge, dark berry fruits, subtle bourbon, earthy hops, light roast. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, bourbon ribbons and a hoppy zest in the close. Solid stuff, the BA effect is detectable but well integrated and the CDA character retains well. Much better than the base coconut.

Bottle from Beer Central, Sheffield. Cloudy, reddy, amber. Film of white, sticky head. Woody. Greasy. Thick, fusty fruit. Oily herb. Taste is thick sweet. Woody bitter. Woody dry. Palate is chewy sweet. Greasy. Oily. Finish is all of that, with a boozy warmth that lingers. Tasty beer. A bit big and daft. Very nice.

Bottle at home, in between hedge killing, take away from Mother Kelly’s 06/07/14. Hazed marmalade orange/dark amber with a well appointed light beige covering that stays for a while then dissipates to a swirl and thin edgeing. Nose is bitter grapefruit, caramel, orange pith, mineral notes, earthy hop, light booze, subtle bourbon wooded backnotes. Taste comprises orange pith, bourbon evident, light coconut ring, jammy tropicana, light booze, sticky mango, hint of spice. Medium + body, fine carbonation, subtle bourbon, boozey tinges and tropicana in the close. Solid BA DIPA, all pretty subtle on the bourbon front but you know it’s there, the alcohol is well integrated and it still retains the charectar of a DIPA. This one grew on me rising from 3.5 on first sip to 3.8 at the close, not often a beer shifts by more than 0.2 for me after the first rating.

Keg at BD SB. It pours murky deep brown with a small yellow-white head and some particles (end of keg I reckon). The nose is wood, brown bread, raisin, varnish, permanent marker pen and caramelised banana. The taste is smooth, woody, dried fruits, earth, resin, toffee, varnish, permanent marker, citrus and warming alcohol. Medium-full body and fine carbonation. Pretty drinkable for the abv. I am slightly off put by the paint/marker pen notes, but still not bad.
