Bottle from Lindisfarne Meadery. Bronzey-amber in hue with a negligible white head. Dry and oaty with biscuits and a subtle fruitiness. So-so.

Dry dark chocolate on the end. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture. Good beer. Overall - it's no black IPA. Good stout though.

Bottle shared with Ashton McCobb. Pours clear dark brown with a thin almost beige head. Light chocolate and hazelnuts. Taste has some citrus, more chocolate. Not a black ipa in my book, but not bad.

Bottle shared with Ashton McCobb. Aromas of light honey, cereal. Taste is sweet up front. The promised balancing bitterness does make any appearance eventually. Orange pith.
