Black with a tan head. Aroma is slight citrus hops with a scent of malted chocolate. Flavor is big hops melded with roasted chocolate malt. Aftertaste of nice robust chocolate. More hops in the finish, but very well balanced. Really quite excellent.
Wife’s rating: 3.75/5

Excellent black imperial ipa. Starts with a Smooth malt taste then it is followed by Emerell entering the room and BAMM!!! A punch to the face with hops, and finally, a slight alcohol finish. Perfect!! (and its from Utah, go figure?)

Pours a dark brown with a 1-finger khaki head that recedes very slowly and leaves excellent lacing. Aroma is faint roasted malt that is quickly overpowered by a barrage of hops. Taste is similar: dark chocolate for a split second before a tongue-splitting hop bitterness. This is not a beer for an inexperienced beer drinker, but is guaranteed to put the hair on your chest. Excellent black IPA, and the 9.2% abv packs a punch at the end of the glass.

If I were stranded on a desert island and I had to pick a harem of beers to drink from for the rest of my days, I would fight a small naval war in order to win the favor of this beer. Light tan head. Looks dark as a bat in the night! Smells like grass, dark malt, nuts and citrusy hops. Lightish carb. Tastes Licoricey, chocolatey, piney and boozy.

A real good beer. Like a hoppy guinness. Good body, head, and lacing. Thick and black like a negro beer ought to be brewed. Even good at room temperature. Does not lose it’s class. The best Uinta has to offer in my opinion. Dig the hemp seed. Recommened to all. Good drinking!

I loved this beer! I think this is what a black IPA should taste like. It’s bitter, piney, resiny, chocolatey, smokey, and roasty. It is extremely complex and big. It’s definitely a bigger IPA than most, hence the imperial label. As this beer warms, the roasted, chocolate notes come through even more, which is fine with me! Given that it’s an imperial IPA, my only slight complaint is that I could have tolerated even more hops on the nose. The hop aroma did not blow me away, but it was definitely very nice.

The Dubhe is wonderful. Has a heavy citrus aroma and is black as oil. Incredibly smooth and no alcohol detected. Hoppy, funky citrus up front and finishes smoothly into a dark chocolate roasted sweet hemp seed taste that carries deep. This shit is up there on my list.

Pours dark brown/black with a nice cream head and beautiful lacing. Smells gloriously hoppy with the hemp seed coming through. Wow this beer is delicious. It’s exceptionally hoppy with just enough dark notes creeping through to keep it grounded. Well carbonated and refreshing. One of my favorites.

Wow. What a malt profile, a little of everything layered on top the other. Complex, choco, coffee, roasted malt, a little nuttyness. The hops are big enough to shine through and get some good bittering and aroma out. Color is super dark red black. Palate is saturated but works well leaves a hint of choco-coffee. Overall taste is hop bitter, dark fruit, roasty malt, Good stuff
