Starts out nice and malty, but is surprisingly bitter. Lots of hhops on top of the roastiness. If it wasn’t so solid, this could maybe pass fro a black IPA. Some silkiness in the palate, but that is counteracted by the bitter hops. Growler fill from the Brewery.

It was fluffy when it poured. Some lacing occurs. Smells like sesame oil, roasty. Tastes like a stir fry smoothie. Minimal bitterness, dissipates quickly on the palate.
