L - Dark foam, decent lacing, and a good amount of opaqueness. Not dark as night.
S - where this beer stands out, along with mouthfeel, as it has that nice black IPA "funk" I'm always on the look-out for but is rare to find these days. It's not roast, and it's not horse-blanket exactly, but just "dark funk." hard to describe.
T - this is where I think Cerebral could have dialed in a bit more hops presence in this beer; right now, it's almost too smooth to stand out as an IPA, so does "ale" more than "Indias" (sure, that's a verb right?). Solid taste but needs more hops presence.
F - Good, though I think a little more CO2 would have helped "mask" the lack of hops in this one.
O - DO IT MORE, BREW IT MORE Cerebral. ;)
