Served on-tap at the brewpub.

A - Pours deep, dark brown bordering on pitch black with a nice one finger tall khaki colored head leaving small webs of lace down parts of the glass.

S - Smells of pungent citric hops, sweet dark roasted malt, fresh cut pine, and even more herbal hops. If you closed your eyes and smelled this one you would be hard pressed to say it was a black IPA.

T - Starts off with a big dose of citric hop bitterness that never really fades away. Hints of sweet dark roast and some pine try to break through but a nice herbal hop character develops toward the end, combining with a bit of sweetness to cling to the palate long after consumption.

M - Big, roasty body and flavors with moderate carbonation. The hops hold up really well with the roast and their is very little booze present. Roast gets a little strong toward the end of the glass.

O - I really enjoyed this one. I have never really liked the style but I have had quite a few Black IPA's recently and they are slowly growing on me. This one is not as good as the Hill Farmstead offering I had a few weeks ago but it is a very close second.

Notes of grapefruit and pine from the hops well-balanced by a malt backbone that is roasty without being overwhelmingly so. A nice beer but not a standout.

Black, not too sweet and the hops are piney but not overly bitter. Not a session brew per se, but certainly heads and shoulders above the other beers tasted today.
