The imagination of craft brewers certainly sees no slowing down as those at Jolly Pumpkin have a whole kitten kaboodle of devices at their disposal- sour, bitter, dark and session all have a hand in this session sour black IPA.
Midnight Dragon's frothy darkness lines the snifter like creamy coffee and foamy espresso. Roast and acidity fills the nose with suggestive lime, apple and grape- all of the forest fire variety. Sweetness is scant on the tongue as any residual sugars are deeply carbonized with only a hint of roasted marshmallow in tow.
Sweet cream retreats quickly and leaves a taste of spent coffee grounds on the middle palate. Sliced and diced with peppery sourness that's of the peels of citrus, the skins of apple and grape, along with a glimpse of white wine that's a little past its prime. That "turned" character leaves a stale woodsy taste and cocoa on the finish.
Light, creamy and with a thread of smoky chocolate, the light and near-session strength ale has a acidic texture with a peppery pang on the throat. Remnants of char, peppercorn, wood and a kiss of medicinal character proves that this beer has pushed too far- past German gratzer, past lambic and past session mild ale and into a world that this meek and meager ale can't possibly support particularly well.
