Brown/red liquid.

Tan head; nice lace. Sweet citrus nose; coffee undertones.

Medium mouthfeel.

Definite Black IPA characteristics; an odd mix of sweet orange citrus & roasty black coffee. Slight pickle juice finish but this is drinkable.

Enjoyable brew. Not what I was expecting from a black IPA. Goes more like a session IPA with more body. Pleasant experience and acceptable as a craft brew. Would drink again.

Decent beer, but nothing I'd go out of my way to buy again. Doesn't smell like much of anything and not as much flavor as I was expecting/hoping for... I enjoyed the 6-pack, though.

look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.5
Undated bottle at 39 degrees into shaker, allowed to warm to 46 degrees
Aroma practically none – very faint malt
Head small (two cm, aggressive pour), light brown, frothy, diminishing to one cm ring and frothy island
Lacing good – complete coverage of inside of glass with tiny bubbles from initial ring, then irregular froth islands and archipelagoes as the level drops.
Body dark brown, nearly opaque
Flavor – again, practically none. Some malt with a slight bitterness. No hops flavor, no alcohol, no diacetyl.
Palate medium, watery, lively carbonation

Appearance 4, Aroma 3, Flavor 3, Palate 3.75, Overall 3.5
