Draft at the source. Very dark maroon color, thick brown head with nice retention and solid lacing. Nice pine and dark cocoa aroma. Taste is unsweetened cocoa, bitter and floral finish. Very tasty.

Growler from Liquor Express in Huntsville. The plastic bottle had a little too much adventure, so my sample may be a little off. Pours black, with just a few bubbles, and no head. Resin and citrusy hops, light coffee and chocolate malts. Light malty sweetness up front, with significant bitterness through the finish, and long into the aftertaste. Medium body, oily, and very astringent. Overall, this is a mediocre black IPA. No carbonation, and a relatively unpleasant flavor. Hopefully I can resample this sometime, uncontaminated.
