I'm a sucker for a black IPA but this seems to be missing a significant hop presence. Regardless, I'm really enjoying this. Chocolate with spikes of citrus on the nose, bitter chocolate, espresso and malts in taste. Buy this.

Genuine Rogue beer! Nice dark colour, clean and clear. Grapefruit and slightly minty hop aroma with a solid caramel malt backbone. Taste matches the aroma with the rich maltiness coming through more on the finish. Palate was a little lighter than expected but made the beer actually more refreshing that one would suspect. Nicely done!

Coffee aroma. Black black color. Beige pillowy head. Coffee and nut taste. Strong and black. Chocolate. Fuck. This is good. Thanks again Rogue.

Aromas of milk and faint roasted grains. Black in color with thin foam and nice lacing. Slightly watery and milky upfront with an immediate burst of roasted chocolate, molasses, grains and caramel. Alcohol is very soft with a toffee finish. Overall, pretty unique Black IPA with milky chocolate overtones and some roast/toffee undertones. More stout-like than IPA. I’d give this a B+ rating.

Dark amber with a tan head. Aroma is pine and roasted malt. Flavor is pine, dirty earth, roasted malt and chocolate. Medium bitterness. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Probably the most tame ipa I’ve had to date. Personally, I like a "kick in the balls" ipa, but this is very nice for a mellower brew. A great finishing brew with an excellent palate.

Reddish Brown with white head. Aroma of sweet roasted malt...a little nutty. Taste is roasted malt and a little bitter. Thought it would have more of an IPA bite. Still not bad at all.
2.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bomber bottle and served in a tulip: Pours a deep brown with a nice frothy off-white head and good lace. The beer profile is that of roast, bread and charred malts along with dank , resiny, piney and slight juicy hops. A bit medicinal (aka band-aid) and harsh mouth feel. While this avoids the sweet malt fault that many Black IPA’s have, there is still something not quite right with this brew. Harsh and aggressive mouthfeel makes it less than enjoyable. The hops seems all wrong!
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Very dark red body, off white head. Roasted malty aroma with caramel, almonds, toast, a light herbal bitterness. Quite bitter with a hint of dry sourness with some black chocolate, bread, pine. Nice, but not particularly impressive.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a nice rich brown with creamy tan head about 1 inch thick. Aroma is sweet roasted malt. Taste is roasted malt upfront with a slight hop note in the finish
