Can. Pours clear deep brown to black with a large brown head that dissipates with some lacing. Aroma is very today, coffee, tobacco, ashtray. Flavor is the same plus anise, lightly sweet, light to medium bitter, light ashy astringence. Interesting, but a bit too anise and cigarette butty for me. BlackIPA where are you?

16 fl oz can. Clear golden amber colour, white head that diminishes leaving alittle lacing and a fruity yeasty aroma. Initial light bitterness, sweetish malt caramel and fruity banana taste with slight poppy seed notes through to a tangy sourish dry bitter finish. Light to medium body and carbonation. Quite OK.

Can from BrewDog online. It pours very dark brown with a bubbly tan head. The nose is cola, caramel, liquorice, roasted malt, toast and a touch of smoke. The taste is bitter-sweet, roasted malt, pretty big on the liquorice, coffee, cola, decent bitterness, spice, earth and a touch of alcohol warmth in the background. Finish is bitter-sweet. Medium body and pretty harsh, fizzy carbonation. Not particularly complex, but tasty nonetheless. Carbonation does spoil it slightly however...

16 oz can. Pours brown with a huge yellow head. Aromas of malts, dark fruit, and maybe a hint of smoke. Flavors of malts and salty nuts, and again maybe a hint of smoke. Other than the salt and smoke I couldn’t pull bacon. OK for a Nut Brown.

Can. Pours pitch black with a light tan head that quiockly disappears. initial aromas have some german whaeat charactistics some banana phenols. These fade somewhat. Also a little alcohol heat in the nose. Flavour is rich, but in my view the roasted malt do not play well with the star amise. Dry finish which lingers.
