An opaque, well balanced IPA brewed with a special black malt for depth of color without an over the top roasty flavor. Brewed with Columbus Hops for a fruity, citrus-like hop aroma and flavor.

Sampling a cold 64 oz growler poured into my snifter/chalice. the beer was filled from the source about 5 days ago. So pretty fresh!
The beer pours a rich cola brown color into the glass with minimal beige, densely packed head foaming up about .5 cm. there is a bit of deep garnet in the glass when I hold it to the light.
This foam fades to an edge layer and a large island soon after I finish pouring from the growler.
The aroma is roasted malts and some dark chocolate and then rolls to some citrus rind hop character and some grassy notes too. Seems to fit the part of a black IPA.
First sip reveals a medium body with fine, gentle carbonation that rolls across my palate. pretty easy drinking beer on the physical traits.
Flavor is some roasted malt and a bit of charred note. Hints of dark chocolate and then rolls to citrusy rind hops and a bit of pine sap and some grassy notes. Definitely hop forward on the finish.
I never get any hint of ABV on this beer and it drinks pretty smooth and easy through and through. A pretty solid Black IPA that is nice to revisit for a style that is rarely brewed anymore.

Beer #4 of the Flying Goose flight.
Beautiful black color with a foamy khaki head and nice lacing along the glass. Taste of roasted citrus and fruity hops.

Poured on-tap and served in a tumbler pint, the beer is a dark brown color with chestnut highlights and a thin, sparse, light tan head. Aromas of resiny wet hops, a touch of citrus, and roasty characteristics. Flavors are roasted coffee initially, with some nut sweetness, and dry, peppery hops profiles following shortly thereafter. Resiny, spicy aftertaste, with a dry, slightly bitter finish. Solid brew with great drinkability.

Alewife and I stopped at the Goose for lunch on 08APR12, after a nice weekend in central VT. Had a couple of pints of this along with my meal...

A standard shaker pint held a jet black brew, with a frothy, rocky, mocha-hued head. The foam ebbed slowly, leaving nice laework in its wake. The aroma had some solid citrus present, though not too much roastiness was detected here. Quite smooth going down, it also possessed a middle of the road, medium body.

Light roast did hit the palate at the outset, with some dark choco and a little bitterness. Soon after things got rindy and pithy, with hoppy resins clinging everywhere on the palate. The grapefruit and piney action lingered well. I wish I had snagged a growler for later, as this was quite tasty. Prosit!!
