Keg. Jet black with a few ruby hints and a thin light tan head. Nose is a hint of coffee and blackberries. Taste is interesting. First blackberry, then coffee and milkshake, then finally a dryness and a hit of bitter grapefruit. A bit of a taste rollercoaster. If the finish wasn't so harsh, is enjoy this a bit more.

Keg at Earl of Essex. It pours near black with a small beige head. The nose is roasted malt, bitter-sweet, liquorice, dark fruit, blackcurrant jam and crackers. The taste is scortched earth, roasted malt, toast, pepper, ash, charcoal and some astringency with a dry, roasty finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Decent black IPA, but not overly drinkable.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 humlelala (684) - DENMARK - APR 11, 2013
(on tap @ Exmouth Arms) Pours pitch black with creamy, tan head. Good retention and beautiful lace. Aroma contains notes of roasted malt and a surprising hoppy fruitiness that does however seem to give way to the malt as it warms. Creamy texture, full body, soft carbonation and a roasted, hoppy finish. Taste is mildly bitter from the hops mostly. Quite tasty and pleasant.
