Aroma has exotic fruits, peaches and some mango. Also mellow resiny tones. Flavour has tropical fruits and apricot. Finishes with lingering hops with grapefruit and gooseberry bush. Also some harsh, herbal bitterness. Decent.

5 Kay, 7.5 Kay, 10 Kay Tasting. Lightly hazy deep amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Small pale cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry with mild fine carbonation. Mellow mild dark malts, very mild roast. Bitterish piney hops with a trace of bitter orange marmalade. Unusual does of violets/lavender before a light dry finish. Piney bitter linger and the roast malt is more noticeable.

Bottle thanks to Mad Mitchy. It pours dark brown with a thick light tan head. The nose is bitter-sweet, roasted malt, plenty of citrus, stewed orange and candy. The taste is bitter, earthy roast, coffee, charred wood, chocolate, resin, warming alcohol and liquorice with a dry, warming finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Rather nice nose to it. Decent black IPA.

Bottle shared in London - thanks to Krazy Ken! Pours unclear brown with a creamy tan head. The nose has toasted grains, burnt pine, earth, orange rind. Light to medium sweet flavor with herbal hops, more rindy citrus, minerals, ash. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Oily, resinous finish with some bittersweet cocoa, more earth, pine. Not bad.

Cask at cloisters. Pours clear amber, thin white head. Aromas are toasty, I suppose, maybe more burnt sugar to be honest. Taste is caramel and thick. Not bad.
