7.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 8
Bottle shared at home. Pours jet black with a thick tan head, which doesn’t last. Citrus and pine on the nose, faint black malts. Taste has more of the same. Finish is bitter and good. Interesting, but not typical black IPA.

Bottle from Valhalla’s Goat, Glasgow. It pours near black with a large light tan head. The nose is roasted malt, coffee, roasty, pine, candy, juicy orange, tangerine, plum and date. The taste is roasted malt, coffee, toast, earth, light spice, plum, date, orange, grapefruit, treacle, nice bitterness, pine and varnish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Flavoursome, good depth and very well-balanced indeed. Pretty damn tasty,

Bottle at Bruce’s - London. Huge thanks to Paul for this Scottish gem. Pours deep brown with a large, frothy beige head. The aroma holds some juicy citrus, wet pine, subtle toast. Medium sweet flavor with tons of juicy orange and grapefruit, subtle roast, a bit of sticky pine, dirt. Medium bodied with fine, creamy carbonation. Moderate resinous finish, toasty pine, chocolate, soft roast, grapefruit, orange, tangerine, dirt. Lovely stuff. Exceptional balance.

17th July 2013
Cask Pub & Kitchen. Keg. Opaque dark brown - black beer. Little pale tan head. Smooth palate. Fine minerally carbonation. Creamy dark malt, quite light and showing no roast or bitterness. Light tang and a pleasant cherry streak. Touches of dark fruits and esters.Finishes smooth. For a beer of this style and strength it could so with a lot more richness and complexity, but it’s quite drinkable.

Keg at CASK pub & Kitchen. It pours near black with a small beige head. The nose is roasted malt, toast, earth, light smoke, cherry, blueberry, treacle and ash. The taste is bitter-sweet, roasted malt, treacle, earth, light smoke, cherry, blueberry, caramel, cola, toast and light ash with a dry, roasty finish. Medium+ body and low carbonation. Smooth and easy drinking. Would have been better with a touch more carbonation, but still pretty tasty stuff.

50cl bottle. Pours opaque black with a generous creamy head. The nose has a green note maybe going into lime - no chocolate to speak of. The taste has burnt oranges and some spice. The palate is well balanced - medium to full bodied with a tangy texture and a long clean finish. Overall, a really well made beer though I’d expect more chocolate on a black IPA.

Tasted once again at Taps Beer Bar, Changkat, Kuala Lumpur. This is much better than the last example with a fruity alcohol creamy caramel aroma. A big fruity alcohol bitter palate that tends to dominate, but a better beer than I had before, hence the re-rate. Bottle at the Deanso’s monthly RB tasting, July 2013. Poured a clear reddish brown with a thin white head. The aroma is rich fruity and a little smoky. The flavour is medium bitter, rich fruity alcoholic, liquorice. Not a favourite I must say.
