Served in jelly glass (points off to The Copper Hog for this hipster move). The beer poured a solid black color with less than 1/8 inch of light tan head that quickly dissipated to a thin ring, and left no lacing.

There was a nice blast of citrus and pine hops at the front of the aroma, with just a bit of roast, and a slight funk. I noticed this in another beer I had from the brewery the same night, and I wonder if it's from the yeast? The hop and roast flavors were similar on the tongue, and the citrus lingered at the back.

The body was a bit on the thin side, especially for an Imperial, but was nicely smooth. Drinkability was OK, but that slight funk kinda put me off a bit. Overall, a solid enough beer, except for that slightly odd aspect, probably worth a shot if you see it.
