330ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, June 21. Thanks Simon for this. Pours black, hazed with a light beige head. Spiced nose, some pine and dark malt. Seems to present an interesting piney gingery hop bite to start, with a dusty Irish dry Stout roastiness on the finish. As it breathes more of the hop pine seems to emerge, finishing more in line with a strong black IPA feel, though remaining intensely complex and smokey with rich liquorice nestled beneath. Blurring styles and then some.

Bottle ordered from A Hoppy Place, Windsor. Aroma is roasty, smokey, coffee. Then develops a dried fruit sweetness. Dark and glossy (I need something else to say, other than dark and glossy/inky). Creamy tan head is blotchy. That is ducking lovely... tangy molasses dosed coffee. Hmm... Turkish coffee? Sour edge, not overpowering. Warming finish but not too obvious. Heavy bodied. Oily. Average-soft-fizzy-fluttery carbonation. Yes. Yes. Phew.

1/4/2021. Bottle from The Town Mouse, Newcastle. Pours cloudy dark amber brown with a small frothy just off-white head. Aroma is peppery, fruit, earthy, malt, yeast, herbal, banana, caramel. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness. Medium body, average carbonation. Sweeter finish developed. Quite enjoyable.
