Tap at iBrew. Red amber colour, golden bubbly head. Aroma is bit stinky hop, quite resinous, bit spicy. Touch of fruit, strawberry. Taste is good, fruity with spicy bitterness. Quite surprised

Tap at the first Keyaki. Grassy hoppiness, light bitterness, nice and sessionable beer. Bit of lemon, quite sharp. Nice enough.

Keyaki. Oh La Holy crap. Aroma is boozy. Taste is alright, fruity, but booze is present. Aroma is barley wine. Not sure it's a complete success but it was fun.

Tap at JBC. Very nice. High on grapefruit and minerals, pineapple cubes, quite bitter. Bit of biscuity malt. Good stuff. Very refreshing.

Keyaki. Couldn't believe I hadn't rated this before. Must have had it I think. Good amber colour, decent creamy gold head. Aroma is pine hops, decent malt, bit creamy. Taste is good, enjoying amber ales at the moment. Decent spiciness, biscuit malt, full bodied. Good mix of flavours. A goodun.

Keyaki. Dark brown colour, small creamy golden head. Aroma is quite full on hoppy bitterness, lemon washing up liquid, some malt too. Taste is good, decent bitterness, and lots of roast. I always struggle to pick out intricacies in black IPAs, but this is pretty solid. Finish is bitter, but in a coffee way rather than a hoppy way. Pretty easy drinking.

Can from Le Collier. Dark brown with a small golden head. Aroma is interesting. Initially a bit black ipa like, but once it settles down it is much more complex. Really fruity, apples, grapes and also dark fruit, hint of smoke, touch of spice, roasty but a little bit funky too. Texture is nice, smooth and creamy. Taste is good too, initial fruitiness, then mellows into something more roasty. There is a touch of something wild too though. Can't really put my finger on it. Haven't even finished this yet, but am definitely going back for some more cans.
