I'm a big fan of Black IPAs and this was disappointing. Little to no aroma or the mouth feel I expect from that style.

Had a $6 pint at Boat Works in St. Clair Shores, Michigan.

Haven't heard of this brewery, but thought I'd go in blind and give it a shot. As it turned out, this was a very nice beer. While many Black IPAs are super bitter and hop heavy making them impossible to describe as "drinkable" ... this beer really is drinkable. A lot of hops of course, but a really nice roasty character that is missing far too often in Black IPAs. Drinkable, but still has a nice amount of flavor. This is almost, dare I say, sessionable? Great balance of roasted malt and fresh hop flavor, which is hard to find for many in the style. Solid all-around.
