Black beer, thin beige head on it. Aroma was more roasted malt than hops.
Taste, lots of bitterness, full bodied fully roasted malt really obscures this an a 'black ipa'. Check this out if you're in a mood for a porter that isn't massive.

A black beer, thin head on it, looked tan, difficult to surmise. Aroma lends itself more to a porter than an iba, the hops just don't jump out, its the high roasted malt that does it.
Taste, again, we're in American Porter territory here, lots of bitterness, full bodied, but the hops just aren't in the mouthfeel. Plenty of bittering hops, but dry or flavor hops seem to be nonexistent or highly overshadowed. Sometimes I wonder if they're even using dehusked malt, but sometimes I wonder if they just used like a 3% malt bill of dehusked for these black ales.
I think next time I'm there, I'm gonna drink this back to back with a Peavine Porter, and then after that, maybe blend a few ounces. Could make a really good porter.
