Amazing beer. One of my top 5, all time. Super great blend IBU, aroma. Better than Stone’s Sublimely Self-Righteous, and that’s saying quite a bit. Let’s hope they increase production. Tasted only in bottle.

A bomber. Aroma is bitter chocolate, toffee and citrusy hops flavour (Citra and Amarillo) . Taste is amazing, a perfect combination of malt sweetness and hops, rye is present, specially in the dry aftertaste. Medium carbonation, easy drinking. Like heaven on glass.

Best black IPA I've had. Perfect roasted malt hop balance. The hops are just citrus enough to nail the balance. Killer.

On tap at Somerset Hills Tap Room. Intense hop aroma blew me away before even tasting it. And then the perfect balance of dark malts and spicy rye surpassed my prior favorite Black IPA. Sorry Stone, your Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale has been overcome, only not sure if I can find this Firesteone brew as easily. Malts not so deep as the Stone offering, but the Rye complexity is just amazing. A new favorite in Black IPAs.

Pours nearly pitch black with a fluffy tan head that retains well. Aroma of pine, floral hops, cocoa nibs. Taste is rye, west coast piney hops, oak, espresso, light booze. A dry, bitter finish. Perfect in every way. Must try for any IPA or stout drinkers.

This isthe best rye IPA you can buy. It’s my first beer rating so cut me some slack however if you want something different this is your beer. The flavors are perfect all the way through. I’m a big FW fan!
