Bottle shared by tytoanderso. Slightly hazy, black tea in color with a small white head. Nice aroma of pine, juniper, pepper, and a hint of the brown sugar. Taste is more malty and less citrus and pine hop presence. Pretty bitter in the finish too. Taste starts of with some light berry character, caramel presence lingers through the finish. Lighter bodied. Not the type of dipa generally enjoy, but this is still pretty well done.
