A: Looks pretty much black but is actually a ruby red color when held to light. The head isn't huge, but the retention is good.
S: Roasted malt, a slight caramel sweetness, a little bit of mint and a bit of charcoal.
T: Heavy on the roasted/almost burnt malt flavor. The finish is bitter and a bit acidic. The finish has some hop bitterness mixed in with the acidity, but it's I feel like this beer would be a bit better if there was a little sweetness to offset all the bitterness. As it is, this is a bit too one dimensional for me.

Looked dark brown to barely black with a lighter brown head on the top of it, 1/4" deep. Aroma was woefully missing, surprised, neither roast nor hops were making their presence felt.
Taste was an acrid bitterness that was offputting. For shame. A lot of bitterness and toffee malt with old coffee bitterness style flavings. At least it was cheap.

Having spent many a delirious day in Portland, Oregon and enjoying ready access to this employee-owned brewery, I was delighted to find it available here in the Washington, DC area. Additionally, my increasing devotion to Cascadian dark ales (aka Black IPA), made this discovery more enjoyable.
The opening looks promising: a vibrant head of sponge emitting a nutty aroma; the body is a dark ruby color with orange splotches reflecting light at the bottom of the glass. There is no lacing as the head quickly slips away. The nose is overwhelmed by a massive pine blast, peppered with minor crumbs of raisin, spice and orange. Meanwhile … down in the palate, there is an initiation of lemongrass followed by a crisp maltiness, one which builds as the quaff ensues.
There is a fine structure that holds it all together as there is no single ingredient that stands alone; they all unite to prove the drinker a complex, yet comfortable experience. Great beer from a great brewery/ Full sail ahead to Beervana!
