Draft at the source. It is indeed black, tan head. Aroma of burnt licorice. Taste is licorice and burnt coffee. Decent

From tap. Pours pitch black with a small tan head. Aroma is roasted malty. Breadish. Bitter and toasted malty. Dry , bitter and breadish finish.

Draught at the brewery, 5/26/17.
Is indeed quite black. Undetermined clarity (assumedly clear) with a light tan head atop showing moderate-to-strong retention.
Quite dry and moderately roasty in the nose, but no sign of any caramel or much base malt at all. It’s like a light porter with a bit of gentle fruitiness and debittered black malt. A touch of lactic character, even, from the dark malts with little/no hop character (light herbal qualities at most) and no alcohol or flaw.
Dry again in the mouth with plentiful, fairly engaging carbonation and a good deal of roast. Never gets fatiguing though it does remain dry and even lactic on the finish with only a bit of honey and caramel below it for balance. Still, it’s clean and polished and there’s no butter, alcohol or messy hop acid. Easy drinking stuff and great attenuation. Could use a bit more malt softness, I suppose.

Sample glass at Growler Garage. They had it labeled as a black IPA, but I see it labeled here as a porter and the more I think about it during my tasting, I have to agree with ratebeer. I think the bar has it wrong, anyways, here’s the rest.
The appearance was a black color with a bar pour’s kind of head (rating adjusted accordingly).
The smell had some roasty chocolatey malts with some coffee beans. There’s a nice sweet chocolatey aftertaste running into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium in the body with a nice sessionable feel to it. Carbonation runs good as a Porter.
I’d have again, good stuff, but not a Black IPA.

Sample at LN. Indeed pitch black color, fast dying head. Aroma is ashy. Roasted grain and chocolate. The flavor starts ashy then turns into a light chocolate. Body is about right for the gravity, lean. Light lingering charred grain finish.

Taster at the source pours nearly black with a one finger tan head. Aromas of coffee caramel and funk. Taste is sweet with similar notes from aroma.

New England Bucket List Trip Beer #115. Keg at the brewpub. Pours a dark brown with a medium sized creamy tan head. Good head retention. Aroma of smoke and roasted malt. The taste is smoke, nuts, roast, hints of dark fruit. Medium bodied, mild lingering roastiness.

Dark brown to black. Roasty licorice. Chocolate and rice Krispy treats with rye and something else I can’t pin point. It’s good but not great

Sampled at the brewery. Pours a transparent, deep brown (certainly not ’pitch black’) with a ring of off white head. Nose has some coffee, toast, dark malt, caramel, cracker. Flavor is sweet, caramel, toast, cream soda, malt, molasses. Everything is quite mild. Clean finish. Well balanced.

Keg at the brewery taproom. Pours black-brown with a creamy, beige head. Good roasty malt nose with touches of smokey campfire and cocoa. Medium sweet flavor with a well-rounded dark malt character, further roast and smoke, dry chocolate, some earth. Medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Pleasant, well balanced finish, restrained smoke, some toasted wholegrain bread, mellow bittersweet cocoa. Just great balance overall with nicely realized flavors.
