Nice beer, but not as hoppy as expected for a black IPA. Whilst there is some initial fruitiness, the general flavour and finish is rather of a dry stout, with all the roastiness and maltiness of a black IPA but without the distinct hoppiness. Nevertheless a very good beer.

Aroma of soft sweet fruits, ginger, not getting rhubarb as masked by ginger, quite fruity, fresh
Taste of fresh ginger, soft rhubarb, dab of cereal, nice flavour, interesting
Palate - Soft carb, light body, soft sour which is good, refreshing clean palate. Finish is light sour, soft fruits, soft cereal yeast linger
Overall - Very drinakable sour as many are too acidic, nice fruits

500 ml bottle, at Jenny Watts, Bangor. ABV 4.7%. Unfiltered and unpasteurised. Pale golden colour, large white head. Moderate aroma of pilsener malts, some citrus and dust. Citrussy and mildly spicy flavour, fairly dry. Okay, but not impressive.

500ml bottle from Brewdog online. Pours dark brown-black in colour with a foamy tan head leaving lots of lacing and aroma of roast malt, chocolate, spicy citrusy pine hop. Flavour is dark malt, roasted, chocolate & coffee, with citrus, woody pine and lingering earthy bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry tangy roast bitter finish. Quite drinkable black IPA.
