I've never had a gushing bottle from a commercial brewery until I tried this beer. There were significant carbonation issues that I've only seen with homebrew. I tried a sip and it was like sucking on an Alka-Seltzer. Curious, I opened the entire six pack (over the course of a few days) and had the same issue with each bottle. Bummer of a beer!

Poured out a jet-black color with a large, light brown head of foam. It smelled of roasted malt, pine and toasted caramel. Nice rich chocolate taste with a strong roast flavor.

Poured from a 12oz. bottle.
A: Pours a very deep reddish brown that appears nearly black even when held to light. Head is one finger of creamy khaki color that dissipates throughout a couple minutes before settling to a bubbly ring that rests atop the brew, leaving behind some nice lacing as you drink.
S: Aromas of roasted malts, and earthy malts predominately. But if you dig deep enough you get notes of citrus, caramel, pine, chocolate, and some interesting fruitiness.
T: Sweet roasted malts, and earthy grassy hops up front, then you get some citrusy fruit flavors, caramel, and chocolate notes. Finishes bitter sweet with a nice amount of pine hop bitterness balanced out by a crisp lingering citrus taste. Nice take on a black IPA.
M: Medium bodied, with a moderately high amount of carbonation. Crisp and easy to drink but feels as though it is lacking something. I feel it takes something away from the overall palate as it seems a little light for its style.
O: I must admit the first time I tried this beer I thought it was terrible, I am not sure if I had a bad bottle or if my palate was off that day, but alas I am glad I decided to revisit this brew. This is a well balanced black IPA that is a little different then the ones I'm used. Overall this is a nice brew that I could enjoy again, and I would say it would be a good choice for anyone looking for something on the lighter end of the black IPA spectrum.
