THIS JOURNEY IS NOW COMPLETE! This was a challenge I undertook from Feb 2011 to Feb 2012. Thanks to everyone that kept me going! Feel free to read through and comment, I am now also periodically adding reviews here as I sample other beers that I did not come across during the challenge.

Kooinda Black IPA
Kooinda's beers to this point have sat on a knife's edge. Very good, but still only on the verge of excellence.
Given I'd had a pretty good run with IPA's lately, it would take a doozy of a beer to rate amongst the others.
The Kooinda Black IPA is popping with malt and berry like flavours before a slab of hop driven bitterness is laid down, locking your tongue in a peruvian necktie. The carbonation is extremely soft, almost non existant, allowing for the flavours to really take to the stage from start to finish.
Definately not a session beer, but on it's own very solid.
I wasn't able to write this review while drinking it, so it's slightly less in depth than some of the others.
