Bottle at home in London - many thanks to Fredrik for the trade! Pours deep brown with a large, creamy tan head. Well roasted dark malt nose, hints of dark chocolate, some earth, charred toast, background coffee. Medium sweet flavor with lots of piney hops, moderate bitterness, good roast, oily chocolate, toasted grass, hints of grapefruit. Medium to full bodied with fine to average, oily and creamy carbonation. Good and resinous to finish with a bit of dry, torched malts, ripe citrus, lots of burnt pine, dirty grass, earth, burnt wood, mild tobacco, some cocoa. Delicious black IPA. Hefty but still balanced and drinkable.

Bottle. Pours a black color with a small tan head. Has a roasted malty hoppy aroma with weak hints of licorice and coffee. Roasted malty hoppy bitter flavor with hints of coffee. Has a roasted malty hoppy bitter coffee finish.

Big beige head. Barely translucent black body goes deep dark red at edge. Floral wooden citric aroma with rubbery coffee notes. Dry-sweet tropical fruit and citrus taste with roasty burnt notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dry roasty tropical fruit aftertaste with citric resiny notes. Nice, drinkable black IPA that’s fairly straightforward, yet more harmonic than many.

Bottled:
