Is it a stout? Is it an IPA? Why not both? Roasted malts combined with 100% Cascade hops give you the best of both worlds.

Reviewed from notes.
On tap at C.H. Evans on 11/24/2018.
Poured into a nonic glass.
Appearance: dark auburn/copper closer to the bottom with more of a substantial dark brown or even black closer to the top and middle then a finger's worth of eggshell white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: dark roasted malts, subtle cocoa powder and/or baker's chocolate, mixed citrusy to piney hops in the background but becoming bolder with more sips
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fine roasty/sweet to bitter arrangement; finishes semi-dry with some nabbing piney hops
Texture: light to medium bodied - probably closer to medium; leaning towards being a sipper; light smoothness as some dryness gets slightly invasive and the palate wrecking capabilities seem fair to good for the style but not as strong as some other "black IPA's" tend to be
Overall: a mostly pretty nice "black IPA" - it's definitely not the weakest link of it's style but not the best either.
