Black Magic is dark as the shadows of the forest and fresh as dew on the grass. This Cascadian Dark Ale unites deep, roasted notes with fresh, fruity hops, creating a balanced and almost magical whole. A beer with both depth and lightness, where dark malt and crisp hop bitterness meet in perfect harmony.

dark brown, smooth light brown head.
aroma is roasted malts, rye bread, pine and grapefruity hops.
flavor is roasted malts, mild bitter hops, the sequence is first bitter roasted malts, then flowery hops and sweet malts then hops bitterness and a lot of roasted malts bitterness in the end, far end is roasted malts and coffee.
nice soft mouthfeel.
Decent black IPA, very well done, still, something I can't really place is making it sort of mild or weak or somewhat boring. High quality, good flavor balance. but something is missing i think.
Normally I really dig black ipa's.
