Utter blackness in the glass, deep and unpenetrable, with a slim, cocoa-toned ring of head above.
Aroma: soft and sweetish, at first, a little bit creamy, now. Hop flavors are mixing beautifully with lush dark malt in this nose. "You put your chocolate in my grapefruit juice!" Not exactly like that, but it paints the picture.
Taste: In the mouth, more of the same. Great big burst of citrus-y hops on the palate is joined in strength by powerful dark malts. "It's a Black IPA!" "Don't you mean a rye dubbel?" "No!!! It's a hoppy…um, Imperial Porter?" "No! It's a Rye-PA Belgian strong dark!"
Full-bodied, and while fully flavored, a smooth delight. Toasty, tasty, delicious. This one's got it all.
Rye malt is growing dominant in the flavor components, rising up and matching the mighty hop presence. Spicy, tingly, terrifically complex. Juicy, bitter cluster {no pun intended, see below} of hops stays right on top, but the mix of Belgian and rye malts, and the Belgian yeast makes the magic in this Harbinger.
What's Farmer Dave's word on this one? "Dark, mysterious, and tasty! A blend of Belgian strain yeasts, Pale, Abbey, Rye and Carafa 1 malts, brown sugar and well-hopped with Columbus, Horizon, Cluster & Azacca hops. Your beer future bodes well."
