What about the beer?
Colour is black with an overwhelming light beige bubbly head. Aroma has lemon-grapefruit, roasted malts and rye. Taste hits first with heavily roasted bitterness. Charred bitter and strong grapefruit takes over. Near the finish the taste turns roasty, a bit piny and extra-dry. Aftertaste has roasty dryness with bitter grapefruit.

Super-hardcore India Black Ale. Untamed roast and grapefruit flavours crash together with huge force. The result is more than just the sum of separate flavours. Delicious beer.

Heavy machine-themed black brew has to be paired with industrial dark-themed rock. No apologies, no explanations, just waiting for the mercy. Perfect.
