Muddy brown with light glimmering through the edge. Excellent blanket lacing from the dense but small head.
Despite the color, this has a strong hoppy nose. There are overtones of mint, coriander, and (oddly) plastic.
I notice the higher carbonation first. The body is low as expected. Neither is distracting. The flavor comes later and is mostly hoppy. The darker malts are a blend of pale, untoasted and deeply, almost burnt, malt. The aftertaste is straight up hop bitterness.

On tap at Blackback pub. This was poured into at tulip and I just had HF’s James for comparison. The appearance was a black color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace. Lacing was somewhat there; lightly stringy. The smell had a crisp sharp bitter cocoa bitterness hitting the coffee notes and then some strong citrus and piney bitterness coming in to bring the bitterness a bit up. The taste was mainly the same with a decent dry and bittersweet aftertaste running into the finish. On the palate, this one sat about a medium in body with a decent dryness (of a Black IPA) showing its true face and trying to make it "unsessionable." Overall, as a Black IPA, it works.
