The appearance was a jet black color with a two finger white foamy head that dies within about a minute, somewhat soapy clingy lacing kinda all over the place, but still looks good for the most part. The smell had roasted coffee bean with a mild light chocolate trying coat some citrus scents, slightly earthy fruitiness as well. The taste is sweet and bitter at different times not exactly combined but a decent hop bite aftertaste with a super nice dry bitter coffee finish. On the palate, it sits about a medium on the body with a decent sessionability to it. Carbonation is good for the style and for me indicating a decent smoothness about it nothing too harsh and nothing off putting. Overall, not bad, glad I tried it, would I have this again, maybe if offered.

This black IPA by Heavy Seas has 7.25% ABV and a lot to offer.
Look-It pours a deep black with a thin khaki head.
Smell-I smell subtle roasted grains, chocolate, and some pine/citrus.
Taste-I taste burnt chocolate chip, toasted/roasted grains, oats, earthy hops, mild clementine citrus, smooth/creamy mocha, and some herbal overtones. The smooth-drinking ale is nicely cut with a zap of alcohol and strong carbonation that draws out the many flavors. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied, smooth, and refreshing, but with plenty of carbonation fizz. The palate feels a lingering hop oil and malty residual that’s ‘lip-smacking good’.
Overall-This is a great Black IPA and there seems to be so few of these out there (that I have come across thus far). Among the meager population, this one has made it to my ‘go-to’ list of good beers year ‘round. Cheers!
