330ml can from Beer52. Hazy gold with small white foam but good retention. Aroma of moderate toasted malts, mid-sweetness, light hedgerow fruit and herbs. Flavour has the same notes but more intensity than expected from the aroma. Nice balance between the sweet malt and herbal bitterness with a bit of fruitiness to give it some softness. Medium bodied, somewhat of a pillowy mouthfeel, nice zing to the carbonation without being overdone. One of the better festbiers I've tried.

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.
