Thanks Brad and Angela! The aromas are dark malt, resin and roast. Flavors are like nose, with good balance between sweet, carbonation and bitter and all the other qualities work well together. Easy drinking.

Draft at Churchkey. Poured a very dark brown head with a small tan head. Aroma was dark fruit notes, light soapy, flower petal hop notes. Flavor had roasted malts, very mild bitterness. A nice deviation from some of the more pine or citrus, chalky black IPAs that are out there.

Draft at the source. Black in color, thin whispy head. Aroma is fresh citrus hops, mild roast, char. Flavor is awesome. Great balance of fresh citrus balanced by a mild roasted grain. Medium body with a lightly bitter citrus finish.
