Not a bad beer - but it's more of a stout with a hops kick. By no means unpleasant, I was just expecting an IPA. As far as a stout goes, pretty good. On the sweet side up front with plumbs and chocolate. Finishes with a coffee note. Hops dries it out nicely with a lemon hint.

Maybe I'm biased because I love Mastodon, but this is a really good IPA. Drink it if you dare.

Poured from a bottle into a shaker pint, the beer is a very dark, almost black coloring with dark mahogany highlights, and a frothy, foamy, clingy, off-white head. Aromas of tart grapefruit, orange peel, chocolate, roasted coffee, and hints of smoke and char. Flavors are a good blend of roast and fruit forward, with a subtle coffee roast blending with grapefruit, tangerine, and lemon/lime. More resinous and piney notes build towards the end of the palate. Smooth, soft, slightly dry body, with a roasted, semisweet, and resinous aftertaste. The finish is smooth and dry, with a bitter and sweet blend lingering on.
