330ml can via Beer52, brewed by Siren according to the label.. Poured into my Gordon thistle shaped glass at home on 19th November 2025. Sediment left the can and sat suspended in the brew before trying to settle, took a minute or two. Margie is out with friends for lunch and I am picking off random beers from my stash to get rid of. Second up is this offering. Red hue to the dark brown body, neat tanned crust on top. Malty aroma, taste is a bitter burnt maltiness that reminds me of burnt cinder toffee somewhat. Add a plum or two in the finish.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A glossy deep cola brown coloured pour with a fast fading beige head; unexpected melon aroma; smooth in the mouth with some bitter roast grains and strong coffee, then some mandarin orange before a dry toasted grain finish. An unusual hop selection for a dark beer, but it works well.

330ml can from Beer52. Pours a dark brown, beige head with wispy retention. Aroma of dark malts, honey, tangerine, melon, spice. Taste of dark malt, caramel, melon. Mild roasted and berry finish. Light to mid bodied, slick.
A Black IPA even in session form is often a good thing. This one is middle of the road but very enjoyable.

Just read the other 3 reviews of this and I've got a different animal. It's red for a start and dominated by 'Lingonberries' (had to goggle them), I have never knowingly had them in a beer or even tried some before. So my beer had a pink head on a hazed light red body and had a hedgerow berry sort of aroma and taste, which I discovered were in fact these Lingonberries (think cranberry). Not unpleasant, but not really my scene, slightly tart in nature.

330ml can via Beer52, drank at my brothers in Devon on 30th April 2025. Billowing beige head on a coke brown body. Chocolate notes in the malt laden brew, bit thin for a Baltic Porter, but pleasant enough.

Black pour with nice foamy beige head. Aroma of dark chocolate, malted milk biscuits, coffee, blackcurrant. Taste has a dark bitter chocolate, biscuit, Weetabix, liquorice, roast, a bit spicy. A touch thin and gassy for a dark 6% beer. Quite nice flavours though.

Semi hazed gold with good white head. Aroma is light floral with some grainy malt, light citrus and white grape. Taste has a subtle fruit but its quite wheat noted, light citric sherbet note which is drying on the palate. The use of oats firms up the body but as there is not much going on taste wise, a lighter session mouthfeel might have been better. Not keen.
