500ml bottle, thanks to Evin at The Kernel for this bottle, really very much appreciated Evin. Very dark brown black colour with thin lasting beige head. Typical black IPA aroma (funny how even after just half a dozen of theis style you do get a feel for them), i.e. good IPA hop aroma with some roasty malt. Oh yes that is good in the mouth too. Wow an English brewery early in their career doing such an unusual style and doing it damn well. Lovely full mouth feel. Hop has good sherbert and grapefruit. Malts have a little charcoal bonfire flavour. Great hop finish, good balance throughout. Very impressed. Some condensed smoke on the finish. Solid beer and the ABV works well and will work well in the UK market. Classy and impressive.

Cask at the Jolly Butchers, London on 3rd December 2010. Black with part-lacing offwhite creamy head. Aroma is spicy, fruity and with smoke. The kick in this beer is richly malty with berry fruits and grapefruit hop. There was a subtle but delicious savoury note. The finish is bitter with burnt malts and a touch of smoke. An engaging textured mouthfeel. Superb.

Cask @ The Bree Louise. Nice mix of citrus and black malt, but milder than the american black IPAs. Semi creamy texture.

Cask at The Bree Louise. Black IPAs are not my favourite style, but this one actually works! Think smooth UK stout with US hops
