Cask, handpump at the Crown Posada, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Byker, Wednesday 30th September 2014. Pours black with a light beige head. Super smooth with a little backbite of coffee, but I have to confess that I have just had a Libertine at Brewdog that has been put through a coffee and vanilla hop cannon infusion, so the coffee flavours from that could still be lingering. Anyway back to this beer, its bloody good, a safe and easy roastiness, like it, in fact really like it a lot. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.6

On cask at the Guildford Arms. Appearance - close to opaque black but with some toffee shades around the edges. Nose - mocha notes. Hint of the citrus but no more. Taste - dark chocolate and honeycomb. Like a dark chocolate Crunchie Bar if there is such a thing. A touch of liquorice on the finish. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture and a nice balanced finish. Overall - isn’t this a Black ipa? Nice beer but is this how a hop trial normally goes?

Bottle. Nice roasted caramel. Very smooth roasted beginning. Very silky, soft. Nice roasted malt, not too deep, a bit viscous. The aftertaste is smooth, fresh, hints of bitterness with lots of malt and roasted character. Dried plums, toffee, fresh and smooth. Nice brew!

Cask at The Southern. Pours clear dark ruby brown, thin beige head. Aromas of chocolate, berries. Taste is where the simcoe hits - bit bitter aftertaste. Looks and smells like a mild, but a fair whack of bitterness. Confusing, but interesting.
