Very dark brown with a surprising beige head that foams up nicely. Quite sudsy in the Duvel tulip and in the mouth. Rich and malty with more substance than expected from the moderate alcohol content. Interesting aroma of roasted grain with a whiff of flowers and cedar.

There's a nice touch of the "meaty" flavor you usually only encounter in a Saison or Biere de Mars. Plenty of warm roasted malt pushes back against the bitter hops. Quite bitter finish. So dark flavored, but there's a hint of mango and pineapple, even cocoanut.

One of the better examples of a Black IPA. Makes you want to keep sipping. From the 16 oz can purchased at the Bellingham Food Co-op.

Pours like a root beer: deeep brown bordering on black that gets chalky at the edges when held up to light and a slight rich reddish hue. Creamy deep tan head that sticks around, leaving tantalizing reminders along the glass of the fun we're having.

Really enticing smell. Roasty without being too malty, sweet caramel and floral pine and citrus hops blend together really nicely to make for a smell I can't wait to translate to taste.

It starts off with an ashy coffee characteristic that quickly gives way to a brief surge of hops, mainly citrus but with some tropical fruit as well. It seems blunted somewhat, and I'm not just talking about a mild tobacco quality either... The roast turns more char, the sweet becomes more just... heavy, and the bright hops move more midpalate. Heavier than expected, but I like it here. This is an interesting take on the CDA. I can get behind it. Whereas a lot of times they can be sharp and bright, this one is more wintery, more muddied. Dunno if that would happen after just three months? I'd definitely have another one.

Picked up a growler from total wine. Poured into tulip glass, pours a pitch black with a lighter tan head. Smell is very much like a west coast ipa, but there's sometbing more, it's not as sweet as you would expect, some garlic notes to it. Taste is decent, it's not the most flavorful black ipa but it's good. The aftertaste isn't the best, there's a little bite almost to it. Mouthfeel is pretty much full bodied. Overall it's a decent black ipa for the handful out there, I would reccomend it. Excellent lacing as well.

4/5
