3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20Bottle I found in my beer fridge while doing a little tidying. Pours a deep black with a thin to medium sized white to beige head. A bit of roast behind a nice thick earthy hop pungency. Medium bodied, big earthy hops, a good amount of roast and chocolate. Cocoa, toast, roast, long sticky resinous citrus. Nice body and easy drinking.

On tap. Pours a dark brown with off white head. Aroma is big citrus hops, smells tasty. The hops really come through in the aroma and taste more than most black IPAs. Nice bitterness and roast flavor as well. Very good.

Excellent beer. Start with a black, slightly brown pour that looks great. The head is characteristic of a stout or porter, very creamy and leaves a desirable lacing. Aroma is pine, roasted coffee and chocolate. Taste follows through in the same fashion, malt with some hop bitterness. Very interesting, I like it!

Very hoppy and you can taste the alcohol(not in a bad way though). Very stoutie-feeling.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Deep brown, almost black pour with a small white head. Toasted malt nose with chocolate and piney hops. Flavor follows with a pretty bitter hop end. Not too much of a balance of flavors, but not terrible.

12oz bottle. Pours a rich dark brown/black color with 2 fingers of creamy tan head. Aroma is citrus and pine, with a hint of roast coffee and chocolate. Taste of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, followed by a nice bitter hit of piney and citrus hops.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a translucent brownish black from the bottle with thin ring of lacy cram colored head that leaves good lacing. Aroma is weak, kind of earthy hops with a toasted black barley back. Taste is bigger, same as the nose with a boozy back, burnt malt and a bitter ending. No real hop presence aside from the bitterness, much better black IPAs out there.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
Let it warm a bit... Really good; more character on the DIPA side than the black IPA. Aroma is pine, resin, faint citrus, and leather. Taste has some malt elements, pine, faint booze, and leather again (but not in a bad way)? Finish is good and crisp with a bitter bite... Glad to come home to a neighborhood with out babies running in the street, fights, or piles of burning trash...I think I used to live in the ghetto.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Deep black in color... Aroma is citrus and pine... Hints of roasted malt... Flavor is pine and herbs, roasted malts, licorice, coffee, dark chocolate... Very complex black IPA... Well done

Sampled at Pints for Pets. Rich roast, rubbery, light chocolate and coffee, lots of hops. Dark brown clear with thin tan head. Medium body with medium carbonation. Roasted notes, chocolate and coffee. Big hop flavor with molasses. Finish is medium bitter but not harsh.

looks good when poured from a bottle but the taste is all bitter beer. has some fruitiness in there but in an annoying kind of way. yes, pine aroma and pine tar taste, rather rude. hop laden fer sure and bitter black fer sure. not sure what to think about this mouth coating rude taste of a style. fergettabouttit. has almost a stinkbug kind of finish volatiling around in the back of your throat, wheew. not impressed
