Stephen Harris		02 Jul 2018	From keg dispense. An increasingly rare example of a Black IPA – and very nice too. (Now called Black Ale and badged as 7.2%).

Stephen Harris		19 Aug 2014	On keg dispense. One of the best examples of a Black IPA around in my opinion. A little too much CO2 in this example.
Stephen Harris		29 Jul 2013	A thick, smooth Black IPA. Negligible intrusion from carbonation. Full of Simcoe hop flavours. I thought momentarily about 5 stars.

McGargle		31 Jul 2014	Strangely muted. Where were the Simcoe hops?
McGargle		30 Dec 2013	Bursting with Simcoe this was back on top form.
McGargle		14 Nov 2013	Back on form with a huge dollop of Simcoe hops.
McGargle		28 Feb 2013	When fresh the Simcoe hops leap out and grab you by the throat. Tonight they couldn't summon the energy to crawl out and die.
Ray		07 Feb 2013	Not at its freshest. Hops seemed strangely muted for a BrewDog beer.
McGargle		31 Jan 2013	No wonder I can't buy Simcoe for my home brew. They've all gone here.
