Meet the Brewer at CP&K. Cask. Clear dark red-brown beer with a little tan head. Smooth palate, semi dry. Nice smooth black IPA - all the essential ingredients are here. Smooth dark malt with no roast or bitterness. Mildly bitter pine hops and great juicy red berry fruits underneath. All flavours well integrated. Smooth semi dry finish. Could just do with a tad more carbonation.

Bottle from Tomlinsons Beer Shop
Dark golden amber, big frothy head, good lacing
Aroma of caramel malts, biscuit malts, soft citrus fruits, light spicy note
Taste - caramel malts, soft quite rich biscuit malts, tangy citrus fruits, grapefruit pith, touch of grassy hop, marmalade, hint of spicy hop, hint of black pepper, good flavour, fruity for a bitter
Palate - soft carb, medium body. Some bitterness with a light caramel malt sweetness. Well blanced. Finish as main flavour with a gentle linger of spicy citrus hop and biscuity malts
Overall - I thought this was a well-balanced tasty bitter - it’s how bitter should be made - it’s on a par with Buxton Bitter for me

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 25/08/2012. Slightly hazy ruddy brown with a decent, off-white head. Sweet, caramel and berry fruit aroma with some grassy hops. Flavour was also sweet and fruity, with some green herbs and very hoppy, bitter finish. Good.

Cask at the Cask, Pimlio - 14/05/12. Dark ruby-brown with a beige head. Dark malts, biscuit, wood and fairly subtle smoke on the nose. Taste follows on from the nose with a pinch of coffee and bitter chocolate. Medium bodied fairly smooth drinking with a little smoke in the aftertaste but subtle enough not to be anywhere near a palate wrecker !

Cask at the Euston Tap, London. Pours black-brown with a soft, beige cream head. Nose holds lots of heavy, burnt pine, strong roast and pungent graperfruit. Big sweet flavor with sturdy roasted malt character, some tangy fruits, mild dirt, some charcoal. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Very sticky and resinous to finish with loads of wet pine, toasted grass, then lots of juicy, citrus and tropical fruits come in. Plenty of grapefruit, with orange, tangerine, pineapple. Hints of tang. Lingering tar and sweet, citrusy fruits. Quite a dynamic black IPA. Very good.
