Can to nonic glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black with a three finger eggshell white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: dark roasted malts, light coffee, some citrusy hop notes, light piney hop notes and that subtle crisp orangey hop undertone which popped nicely as I hoped something like that would
Flavor: blended the prior noted aromas together very nicely with a mild roasty coffee tone to it; subtle aftertaste of citrusy & piney hops the smooth coffee beans
Texture: light to medium bodied, good as a sipper; firm bitterness striking my tongue but not overly done; finishes roasty, piney and that ever so slight orangey hop zing
Overall: very nice Black IPA I would have again, seems like it's on it's way of being a palate wrecker of sorts! Just need the appearance to look a little more darker
