on tap-pours black with a tight retaining light brown head. Aroma is sweet resin, roasty dark malt. Taste is sweet resin/pine hops, roasty dark malt-anise. OK/soft carbonation.

(Draught) Pours a black body with a medium beige head. Aroma of citrus, mango, passion fruit, light pine, and roasted malt. Flavor of roasted malt, citrus, nuts, and pine with a dry, bitter finish.

Tap at Freshcraft - black pour with an impressive off white head - nose of bitter black malts and resinous, piney hops - creamy body - falls into the trap that many black ipas do up front in that it is a bit too sweet and stouty - a fair amount of acidity through the middle - dries out enough for the strong, earthy, wood hops to be welcome - finish is a bitt too acidic - pretty good, though.

On tap @ Falling Rock. Black appearance with a thick brown head. Roasted dark malts and piney hops in the nose. Slightly grapefruity, medium piney hoppy flavor with mildly roasted dark malts. Piney bitter finish with a mostly piney aftertaste.
