Cask-conditioned at the Green Man, Bristol 3/06/2011. Dark brown with a hint of red and decent, off-white head. Aroma of pine needles, fruit cake and floral hops. Flavour had some solid fruity malts, more pine, citrus and a long, resiny finish. Interesting to see Moor captured most of the black IPA character at a lower ABV. Excellent.

bottle from Darts Farm. Deep black colour, large and very persistent, creamy beige head, rocky like the Alps. Lovely aroma of caramel and chocolate. Surprisingly light and thin malty body, lots of dark chocolate and caramel with some shy fruitiness (berries, raisins). Good.

Cask at 4:20. Clear, ruby-gold pour with a fluffy, white head. Dry, woody malts on the nose. Some fruits in the flavor, mild sugars, more woodiness, mild grass. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Faint sweet flavor, some faint ripe fruits as well, mild earthiness, dry toast. Alright.
