Bottle, kindly shared by gunnar. ABV is 7.6%. A blend of 67% IPA and 33% stout. Black colour, moderate beige head. Nice aroma of fruity American hops, just a hint of roastiness. Pleasant roasty and very hoppy flavour.

Cola brown with a bubbly tan ring.
There's not a lot of aroma, where I'm getting mild notes of a toasted Nut Brown.
Taste brings the unusual element of the "tan" part that Frog chooses to use, which adds the spiced orange of Gangster Frog with an expected hint of green tea to a mild roast, mixed nuts and a toastiness on the back end.
Crisp yet frothy with a medium body and a semi-dry to dry finish. It is what it is, a blend that's not really defined.

A: The beer is jet black in color. It poured with a short off white head that died down, leaving lacy patches of bubbles covering the surface and a collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of dark malts are present in the nose along with notes of roasted malts and hints of licorice.
T: The taste is similar to the smell. No sweetness is detectable and there are some slight hints of bitterness.
M: It feels medium-bodied on the palate with some slight hints of smoothness and a low to moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer tastes like a blend between an American Black Ale and an American Stout, with the black IPA flavors being stronger. It's easier to drink, but I think I would have liked this more if the stout flavors were a little stronger.
