Bottle @ home, thanks to Lukaduke. Pours a murky, deep brown appearance with an amazingly, long lasting, thick brown head. Aroma has roasted coffee, pine, spruce, mint, some char, graham cracker, and chocolate. Medium body. Medium high bitterness. Medium low sweetness. Tons of burnt and roasted malt in the flavor, especially piney in the mouth. Light citrus. Clean flavor and nice appearance but it’s a little forward on the roast and spruce/pine. Solid Black IPA but not my favorite offering from Maine Beer.

Heavily hopped with roasted malt. Very balanced. A Little sweetness under the roast and where !many black ipa’s are a mess, this is well made. Very good and top of its style.

500ml bottle at the March DC Tasting. Poured a clear dark brown color with a small tan head. Aroma was roasted malts, light burnt notes. Pine resin is heavy in this one. A touch roasty, but overly well hopped, leaving the roasted character in the background.
