A strong pour is needed to reach a half finger of short lived creamy tan foam with many large bubbles, no lasting lace.
Dark opaque rosewood brown color.

Citrus and piney hops greets the nose with roasted, caramel, black, crystal and toasted malt character. These are all bigger during the taste.

Neutral on sweetness with above average bitterness from a balance of hops and roasted malt. Juicy during the middle of the taste, citrus almost adds sweetness. There is a slight drying astringency from roasted malt and alcohol. Typical NE style IPA hop level, The finish becomes semi-dry with spicy and charred flavors lingering during the long aftertaste.

Light bodied, below average carbonation, a soft feel comes from malt richness. With the bitterness of Stone IPA and the malt level of a Porter, this is one well balanced and easy drinking Black IPA.
