This is a decent porter or stout, but aside from a faint grapefruit aroma, and maybe some citrus peel flavour &#40;both which can be found in overhopped stouts and porters&#41; there is nothing to suggest this is a black IPA. NOTHING&#33;

The flavour leans heavily towards citrus peel, particularly grapefruit and orange, which isn’t my cup of tea. There are hints of herbal hops and caramel as the beer warms up a little, but the citrus peel lingers.
