Had on tap at GLBC. Dark rust colored pour with big foamy white head. The aroma is hop and a bit of citrus but is predominately dark malts and a little sweetness. The flavor was too sweet for my preference in an IPA and even the beer was fairly bitter it didn’t balance the sweetness at all.

On tap at Great Lakes. Dark brownish amber color with off-white head. Aroma and flavor are really hoppy with slight malt and caramel notes. Very bitter but lacking the fruitiness I like in an IPA.

dark reddish brown, not black, with large white head. nose of medium to dark crystal malt. some bitterness before some citrus hopes and a ton of dark crystal malt with a lot of residual sweetness leaving this somewhat cloying and not overly pleasant, out of style for a black ipa
