L: mahogany/brown body; frothy tan head holds good retention
S: dark/burnt caramel, grain, pine, citrus
T: more roasty with more burnt caramel and caramelized grain; hops are pungently bitter with notes of pine, grapefruit, and tangerine
F: medium body, resinous with hop oils sticking to the palate; bitter finish
O: pretty good black IPA; kind of reminds me of a [pretty much extinct] brown IPA

Pours a dark brown with a tan head, excellent lacing. Hops'n, smoke. Medium bodied, good carbonation. Its been awhile since ive had a black IPA. Pretty good.

Had on tap. Blackish brown, mushroom cap. Smell has the hops no doubt, but the smoky malt body is subdued for the style. Taste I find the same issue, it is like they tried to make this an ipa with a black body, plus it is thin. Love this style, hard to find these days, but this one is not doing for me in the feel, thin, yes hoppy, but lacks the smoky snarl I look for.
