This beer does not lack in hop or oat character. Lighter in alcohol, we hope you can enjoy more than one over some good conversation and not lose your place. Pairs nicely with cheese, meat, and chocolate. Cheers!

This is a world class stout. Rich, wide and deep, without being heavy. Great with a burger. Excellent brew. Only Samuel Smith beats it.

This one is a dark brown color. Aroma is malty, smokey, and slightly meaty. Flavor is smokey and semi sweet with light hoppy bitterness. Oatmeal like sweetness and roasted bitter malts. Faint coffee and even vanilla. Nice roast and bitterness of a good oatmeal stout. I would not consider this a black IPA.

Pours jet black, dark tan head is fine and dissipates slowly.
Brown sugar aroma, some light oat and biscuit, vanilla, maybe a little lactose.
Cocoa, brown sugar, vanilla, oatmeal, and woody hops combine in the flavor.
Medium body with tingly carbonation on the roof of the mouth.
Very good stout, nice flavor and aroma. Would be good in nitro format too. Definitely worth trying.

Was told that this was just an oatmeal stout and not a black IPA. (It's a borderline black ale; whatever that means. Lol.) Though, this is a different batch. Not quite sure what precisely the deal is, but it is listed as a "hoppy oatmeal stout" on the east end page.
Always nice to come across an appropriately hearty oatmeal stout. And this is definitely one of those. Robust tones with a mildly burning oat tone that rests on the tongue for a very long while. Interesting almost berry tone on it. Smooth feel for sure. These are the kinds of beers I like to see out of East End, and the ones I want to see more of. Consistent and thorough. Keep 'em coming Scott.

On tap at Beermuda in New Kensington, PA.
Poured into a shaker: Black body with no head but a cap of tan foam, no lacing.
Smells of light toasted oats, a slight sweetness like molasses. Very faint smell.
Taste is stronger, with sweet molasses, mild dark fruit, more like grape. Ends with a bracing, bitter roast that hangs far into the aftertaste.
On the thin side, but with a notable viscous quality, presumably from the oats.
Definitely doable & worth revisiting. Didn't realize it was supposed to also be a Black IPA til I read this profile. I really didn't get any hop presence that I'd assume the style would call for.
