It’s a little hard to categorise this beer really.  It is a dark ale, with more aggressive hopping than your normal stout.  Interestingly, even the brewery stop short of calling this a black IPA, so it probably does fall somewhere in between a hoppy stout and a black IPA.Â
The aroma is inviting, with dark chocolate, coffee, dark stone fruits and some hop character. Lots of dark malts for that lovely roasty flavour, dark chocolate, coffee, licorice and some spice.  Then there a solid hop bitterness with this beer, which hints at citrus probably mostly in the form of grapefruit.Â
