It seems we’re the last to the party on this so-called ‘Black IPA’, having already seen posts by:
Tyson (http://tysonsbeerblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/beer-disappointment-of-last-7-days.html) (two thumbs down)
Mark at Real Ale Reviews (http://real-ale-reviews.com/thornbridge-exposed-at-the-sheffield-tap/2010/03) (thumbs up)
Blogobeer (http://www.blogobeer.com/2010/03/16/another-rather-excellent-evening-at-the-marble-arch-manchester/) (thumbs up)
Kieran Haslett-Moore (http://themothersmilk.blogspot.com/2010/02/thornbridge-in-nz.html) (thumbs up).
