3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap. Moderate malt notes of toasted and a hint of molasses, moderate resin for the hops, with raisin, prune, tar, licorice/anise and whiskey-like alcohol. Head is average size, between creamy and frothy, grayish tan with good yet thin lacing and is mostly diminishing.. Color is very dark brown. Flavor starts moderately acidic and bitter, then finishes lightly acidic and heavily bitter. Palate is medium, oily with a lively carbonation and a lightly alcoholic and very dry finish. Bold dark aromas and a nice feel in the mouth make this and excellent Black IPA.
