500ml bottle. Quasi black colour with huge, thick, frothy, mostly lasting, moderately lacing, beige to tan head. Roasty dark malty and piney, resinous and slightly citrusy hoppy aroma, fruity notes of grapes and blackberries, underlying hints of dark chocolate and coffee, an earthy touch of coniferes. Taste is bitter hoppy, slightly bitter roasty dark malty, fruity hoppy notes of white grapes intermix with rudimentary remnant sweetness, a resinous touch of tropical fruit goes along; not fully free from chalky and metallic innuendos.

Appearance is black, with a small disappearing beige head. Loads of coffee and dark malts in the aroma. Taste is dominated by black coffee and roast malts, with hints of vanilla sweetness. Quite a carbonated mouthfeel. Good if you’re a coffee fan.

330ml bottle @ Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Pours hazy orangey amber with a respectable cream head. Aroma is orange resin. Taste is indeed extremely hoppy with a decent orange fruitiness above all that resin. There’s a good bitter pine edge to give it focus too. Decent DIPA.

Bottle shared at the 2015 edition of the chriso Pre-GBBF tasting - London. Cheers! Pours clear ruby with a foamy, off-white head. RIch malty aroma, with notes of toffee and ripening fruits. Medium sweet flavour with bitter grains, some oily pine, bread. Medium to full bodied with average carbonation. Sugary on the finish, with more toasted bread, sweet dried fruits. OK stuff on the whole.

330ml bottle @ Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Pours hazy deep amber, medium off-white head. Aroma is marmalade, pine. Taste is plump fruits, pithy orange, wood varnish and pine with a robust bitter edge. Decent session IPA that punches above its weight.
