2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours near black with a 2 finger, creamy tan head. Aroma is mixed berry and tree fruity all over, light roast, char, medicinal notes, chocolate and citrus and pine hops. Flavor is nutty, lots of random fruitmedicinal notes, herbal, pine and citrus hops and an odd metallic note to the finish. light to medium body with an oily entry leading to a watery body and astringent finish with a moderate strength, but blanketing and sharp carbonation. Could be better. Lots of off/out of place flavors.

22 ounce I bought for five bucks. I see why. Not so much Black IPA as fruit bomb. Black body and some chocolate malt. But overall, big fruit taste with caramel malt. Eh.
