Creamy, sandy coloured head stayed on a very dark brown, finely effervescent body. Pine aroma - not much else sniffing about. Medium to thin body. Very smooth on the palate & prickly on the back. Lots of bitter citrus, pine, roasted, caramel, malts & hints of caffeine. Not sure about the Black Rye IPA tag.

Keg at BD Castlegate. It pours lightly hazy amber with a small off-white head. The aroma is pretty fresh, fragrant, bitter - sweet, plenty of grapefruit, pomello and bread. The taste is crisp, dry, assertive bitterness, pithy grapefruit, lemon rind, pine, resin, slightly grain vibe, touch of astringency and some alcohol with a drying finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Decent enough, but a touch grainy perhaps.

Keg at Brewdog Shepherds Bush, London. A dark brown/black coloured pour with a medium beige head on top. Roasty, malty, citrus, pine aroma. Tastes rather similar, roasty, malty, citrus, pine. I believe this is my first Irish craft beer, not a bad effort.
