Collaboration with Breakroom Brewery
This India Dark Ale, brewed with the guys at Breakroom Brewery, is made for the hard worker. It's not for the guy who walks around the office with an empty folder to make himself seem busy. Not for the guy who sits in the bathroom wondering how long he can go unnoticed. And not for the person who is ALWAYS in the lunchroom. The beer brewed with Amarillo hops will get you through the toughest of work days. So crack open this beer and reevaluate your work ethic.

Black body, a couple fingers of tan foam that leave behind sheets of lacing all around the glass, and lasting surface coverage.
Aroma is roasty but mellow, fairly faint. Charred pine needles.
Taste is roasty and bitter with lingering piney hop character. Bitterness is the dominant character, after the initial black malt roastiness subsides. Medium bodied and slightly creamy with the aforementioned overbearing bitterness. Dry bitter aftertaste. Overall it was ok, but could use a little bit of nuance in the way of malt depth or hop flavors to balance.
