Keg at Craft Beer Co, Cov Garden, 12/05/14. Hazed reddish amber with a moderate light beige covering that stays for the show. Nose is bitter orange, caramac bar, pink grapefruit, straw, sweetish vibes, earthy tones. Taste carries a big mineral blast, mango, grapefruit, earthy hops, light spice, caramel malt. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close laced with hop bitterness. Decent enough IPA, a little sweet in places but the big mineral presence worked well to balance this out.

Bottle picked up at Bullfinch/Anspach, Saturday 26th April 2014 consumed at Cabbage Moors campsite, Great Shefford, Cambridge Sunday 27th April 2014 Pours deep amber with mid sized off-white head. Hoppy but quite earthy quite trad’ bitter like on nose but punchier, some citrus. Taste is bitter, good hoppiness throughout not as cultured or fancy as something similar with US or NZ hops but the East Kent Goldings and Fuggles can do a damn good job when used in copius quantities, they are assertive, perhaps a little harsh/rough but really define this beer. A little toffee at the edges but there is a citrussy edge or should that be citrussy hedge :-) Love this. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov16 3.9

Bottle at home in London - sourced from the brewery. Pours deep black-brown with a thick, mocha cream head. The nose has lots of oily, dark chocolate, decent roast, hints of espresso and burnt earth. Medium sweet flavor with robust but balanced overarching roasted malt character, prominent chocolate, low bitterness, understated ripening orange and grapefruit. Medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation and creamy texture. Finishes with some gooey chocolate and resinous, lightly torched pine, some dark bread, minimal bitterness, light charcoal, dark chocolate, slight licorice and raisin. Nice depth. This black IPA is neither excessively roasty nor hoppy, which is fine by me. Rather, it’s fairly creamy with lots of roasted malt and chocolate character, along with subtle citrus and dried fruits. Quite approachable, especially given the strength. Very good.
