3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20Poured into a pint glass. Finger of tan head and (surprise!) pitch black body.
Citrus aroma, strong. Picking up a little bread too.

22oz bottle 5/12/13 (Jewel Clearance Rack)-52° in Shaker-Pours black with a small loose tan head. Aroma of hops and roasted malt. Taste of the same with some chocolate. This medium bodied brew is nicely balanced and quite tasty.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a very deep brown/black color with a tan head that quickly fades down to the liquid. Aroma has a slight bug spray/deep woods OFF nose. Flavor has a smooth light chocolate early that quickly fades to a modest earthy hops presence with a good dose of roasted malt at the finish. Body is light/modest with a slight dryness from the roasted malt presence. Overall not bad but nothing special. Hops presence wasn’t as pronounced as I would expect for the style.
3.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
This is a black IPA and what I would call a stout. Still, this is a very smooth beer and definitely worth a try.
