On tap at LAB. Some pine, citrus, and roast in the nose. Same character in the flavor with some pronounced hop bitterness. Medium body.

Draft at the source. Very dark brown, beige head, solid lacing. Aroma of coffee and pine. Taste is bitter roasted pine.

Tap to taster at the LAB. I assume this beer is the same as the Black IPA I’m drinking, but it’s listed at 6% and the beer I’m drinking is 5.8, so... Looks good; dark with nice lacing. Smells pretty good; hoppy and malty. Tastes solid; good balance. Good mouthful too. Their best beer IMO.

On tap at The LAB in Asheville. Dark brown cola-like pour with a thin off-white head. Faint floral hop aroma. The flavor begins with floral and grapefruit hops and finishes with a light amount of chocolate. Medium bodied. Nice beer!
