Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a black color with a 1 inch head. Smell is mild, roasted malts, hints of chocolate. Taste is roasted malts, hops, some smoke, very light chocolate, easy drinking. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a decent beer.

Poured into a shaped pint glass: color is black with dark edges, head is darker tan with a big initial presence then even a lingering top of at least 1/2 inch; some head lacing down the glass sides.
Smell is pleasant with a nice roastiness, subtle coffee and dark chocolate notes, piney/earthy hops on the finish.
Taste is also nice with a lean towards roasted malts and dark chocolate bitterness, hop bitterness is noticeable but not dominant other than overall bittering presence; some toast and coffee flavors noted as well.
Mouthfeel is moderate with crisp carbonation and bitter roasted malt flavors balancing the sweeter malts that could originate from a deep malt bill for this style; hop bitterness seems to drop off from nose to mouthfeel.
Overall a nice take on the style with a lean towards roasted malts with diminishing hop presence.

12 oz can served in a lager glass.
Pours dark brown with a large, durable tan head.
Unlike too many black IPAs, the dark malts and hops in this one blend nicely rather than competing. Moderate bitterness with a medium-full body.
