Originally starting in two years ago with a beer that one a local competition and went on to gain crowdfunding to commercialize. This is one of their core range, a Black IPA which was developed shortly after opening. I served this at room temperature.

Appearance: Dark brown, a murky burgundy when held to the light. The beige head very, very thick and lasts quite a while.
Aroma: Floral hop notes with hints of a tart like yeast note.
Flavour: a lovely sweet mix of roasted malt notes with floral hops, a perfect balance.
Body: A nice fizz level, and the bubbles are fine in size, however, they still bite on the way down.
Aftertaste: The hops dominate a little at this point, and a faint hint of soap comes through.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 7, a lovely balanced ale, with a few minor improvements needed.
Price Range: The box had 8 beers for £14 - so £1.75 for a 330ml bottle; a very good price and worth getting again.
Food Pairings: Some form of strongly marinated dark meat, such as honey and soy glaze pork. South East Asian flavours would go very well with it.
