Awesome aroma and taste of citrus fruit, really can’t say much more for the beer, those flavours and smells explode out. Really enjoyed it.

Beautiful citrus fragrance. Lively sour aftertaste with nice complexity. Nice afternoon ale.

More on the IPA side of things than the stouty porter flavour. Head dropped off quickly, but the flavour finishes with a lovely citrus note. On tap, Bier Deluxe.

Pours a real dark colour with a beautiful beige head. Aroma is citrus and tropical fruit with dark malts and hops. Taste is a similar story with a slight roastiness. The finish is quite a nice combination of citrus fruits and bitter hop. Really great

Pours a lovely dark brown with a nice beige head and great lacing. The aroma and flavour is very similar to the hop hog a nice pine. grapefruit with some added dark malt undertones. Overall even tho it did taste very similar to the hop hog i loved this beer.

Tap at Beervana - Good aroma dominated by hops, the taste reminded me of grapefruit sherbet.

UPDATED: OCT 11, 2011 On tap at the Feral. Aroma exploding with citrus and tropical fruits. Chocolate undertone but is dominated by the hops. All the same in the taste. Lots of citrus go with slight chocolate and ash. Very good

UPDATED: MAY 12, 2011 Tap. Reminded me more of an IPA. The dark malts are there but are quite subdued. Lots of pine and citrus everywhere. Plenty going on and the carbonation makes this pretty easy drinking.

Tried on tap at Feral. The black hophog? Citra hops balance the dark malts very well. More sessionable than most black ipa’s I have tried. Dark brown body, clear, with lasting almost beige head. Initial hop nose then light roasted notes. Smooth texture, a little chocolate in the taste with vague ash notes on the finish.

On tap at GABS St Kilda. Great beer. Aroma is smoked, with caramel, cola, and grass. Taste starts sweet, with bitter notes, and good length. Palate is velvety, and medium bodied. Brown, with a frothy head.
