Pours a dark brown. Not much to the smell. A bit of crisp toastedness. The taste had much more toastedness, but it's still very subtle. The hops are there, but very mellow. This is a great black IPA for people to bridge into the intense black IPAs.

Recipe from Weasel Boy, Ohio. Summit, Amarillo, Centennial and Cascade

Bad start - not black to the eye, not hoppy to the nose. But comes through with both resiny slickness and surprising fruit. However, those fruit notes take over (along with some muddy bottle-conditioned yeast notes moving forward) as it warms, pushing it in English porter directions. So CDA or hoppy stout? Ultimately, I’m not too interested.

Subtle, briefly intriguing, ultimately disappointing. 3.75
