Pouts a chocolates brown color that seems black within the glass with faint mahogany edges along with a one finger beige mind rapidly settles right into a thin ring. Minimal spotty lacing left out. Earthy, slightly chalky aroma with roasted dark malt notes and ester-y dark fruit notes. The majority of the hoppy/IPA characteristics are muted with subtle resinous pine and grass. Tropical fruit notes pointed out around the label are nowhere found in the nose. Feels a lot more like a roasted dry stout/Belgian strong dark ale hybrid. Toasted malts together with chocolates, beans and oatmeal adopted by plum, raisin and fig. Not offensive but disappointing to have an IPA. Medium bodied having a more powerful hop presence compared to nose shows but it°s still covered with roasted dark malt and sweet dark fruit esters. Dry, earthy and bitter however the hop profile is a dimensional with grass and sticky pine needle flavor lingering throughout. Again, tropicalOrcitrus fruit fruit sweetness is totally absent. The bitterness is complimented by roasted/acrid dark malts. Slightly smokey with burnt toast flavor together with bitter chocolates, stale coffee and oatmeal. Thankfully the Belgian yeast provides some necessary sweetness with hints of grape, fig along with other dark berries. Still, it°s insufficient to beat the overwhelming roast and something dimensional bitterness.

Bottle inside my parents haus, from Callans Dundslk, still light at 2240 ! 26/06/15. Very dark mahogany brown with an above average tan covering. Nose is light charr, dark fruit, faint spice, pine, raisens, earthy. Taste comprises pine needle, dark berry fruit, earthy hop, light cacao nibs, toffee fudge, trace of spice, touch of yeast. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close peppered with light hop bitterness. Decent enough XDA.
Pour on tap at Black Bottle, dark brown black pour with off white-colored mind, aroma introduced notes of pine, anise, dark fruit, cacao powder into a little bit of roasted malt, some ash having a hint of orange fruit. Taste was a mixture of orange, pine, and herbal hops into roast, anise, chocolates and occasional notes, finishing bitter. Pretty decent.

Transfer from BA review on 8-24-13- Put from bottle right into a pint glass Appearance °The beer flows an in-depth-deep brown nearly dark colored having a huge billowy brown colored mind. The mind fades quite gradually, departing an excellent degree of streaky lace around the sides from the glass. Smell °The aroma is of more dark roasted malts and chocolate combined with a Belgian yeasty smell with a lot of spice. Together with these smells there are several grassy hop and herbal smells plus some earthy notes. Taste ° The flavour begins nice roasty having a nice roasted malt and lighter sweeter chocolate flavor. Using these flavors, there's a lighter Belgian yeast and spice flavor of clove and coriander which grow a little more powerful because the flavor advances more toward the center of the flavour. A little bit of blueberry and a few pine join the flavour more toward the center, using the pine growing more powerful because the flavor advances. Toward the finish the chocolate increases a little and it is became a member of with a rather more powerful coffee taste plus some herbal and earthy hop that within the finish produce a nice mixture of roast and bitter departing a really satisfying roasted, kinda sweet, but nicely bittered taste around the tongue. Mouthfeel- Your body from the beer is around the creamier affiliate with a carbonation level that's around the slightly lower side. The creamier body minimizing carbonation combo are very nice for that roasted malt and chocolate flavors from the brew too the mixture of hop flavors which are contained in the beer. Overall ° Whilst not a hop powerhouse, it features a wonderful roasted flavor in addition to enough hop to help keep it an IPA all while getting a great sweetness to balance everything out.
Can°t tell it was so strong. Solid entry, great deal, couldn°t really tell it had been Belgian though. Perhaps a touch dry within the finish however the flavor (while good) was muddled enough that any Belgian yeast was indistinct. Just wound up a black ipa that sampled enjoy it used spicy hop varieties with a decent dose of dark malt. Put near black with big khaki mind. I loved that old India ink much better than this, however this was good.
Bottle. Ebony pour having a tan mind. Lively carbonation malty, chocolate roasted flavors with obviously, hops. Bitter, thick, along with a sipper of the IPA. Not necessarily my personal favorite style, however it works.
350ml bottle. Strong aroma, hops, roast malt, coffee, some citrus. Taste is identical. Medium carbonation .Bordering on stout?
Now this can be a black IPA. It might easily pass for any stout to look at, also it creates a truly beautiful fluffy, light brown mind and there°s sufficient stickiness to create some really thick, sexy lacing in places. The nose offers some roasted malts in advance, which rapidly balances by helping cover their some sweet, caramel/toffee sweetness. Another thing, an alcoholic, fermented fruitiness deep within the aroma jogs my memory of the Tempranillo. The taste is outstanding for any black IPA. This really is easily my personal favorite from the style, even when it leans Belgian. I frequently seem like I°m looking for the right black IPA, and often, even frequently, remark at just how a black IPA is actually good - however this one must top the balance. Some cacao-like roasted malts form the bottom of the malt flavor, having a very distinctive herbal, citrusy lemon hop presence blending very well using the malts mid-palate. Sorachi Ace hops appear to actually be amped in this beer, however the complimenting heft and flavor from the malts really get this to beer work. It°s truly impressive. Finally a dry, toasted/heavily roasted malt flavor, sans burnt bitterness, finishes the flavor.
