Poured from a 22 oz. bottle into a tulip.
Appearance: Molasses color, nearly black. with a deep red hue in thinner spots. The caramel IPA color comes out in the edge of the glass. A frothy tan head leaves generous lacing on the side of the glass.
Smell: The stout controls the nose. Roasted malt, giving coffee and chocolate notes, along with citrus hoppiness.
Taste: Sweet chocolate, roasted malt and coffee to start. The coffee bitterness turns citrusy, with grapefruit and orange providing a mild hoppy flavor. The transition is ok, but the flavor really does not have enough zing to it.
Mouthfeel: This has a mostly stout mouthfeel. Fuller than medium, with tight carbonation. Slightly sticky.
Overall: Neither flavor is really that great, but the balance between stout and IPA is appropriate.

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.
