Bottle. Really black with a pretty good head. Aroma is roast malts and Hops. Taste is roasted grains with a citrusy after taste.

Uninspired for a black IPA, more like a bitter dry porter, with a heavy dose of unsweetened chocolate and pine, but lacking the bright hop notes needed to stand out in this style. Eh.

2 week old bottle A: Almost black plum color with 1" of thick tan foam. Good retention and patchy lace. S: Muted scent mainly of sweet chocolate and roasted malts. T: Bitter flavors of powdered chocolate and pine. A faint fruity tang to finish. M: Smooth powdered chocolate mouthfeel with soft carbonation and slightly sticky finish. O: Not bad but seems more like a hoppy brown ale than any IPA. Texture is great though.

On tap at P&P Charleston. Medium brown with medium light brown head. Aroma is evergreen, medium body, medium carbonation, and good lacing. Taste is pine hops and dark chocolate.

OK, so anything from a bottle called frostbite should be white? Well, no, this is big and black but large and in charge. Smells like IPA fer sure, tastes like IPA fer sher and it feels like IPA; ferrrr sherrrrerr. If my eyes were shut I would think this is just another potent IPA. But they’re not and I see a big black beer that is insulting my cheap pale lager taste buds wwheww louie louie louie louwoahwwww. Terribly on style and I may say it treads into imperial IPA territory. If you like IPA, try this and do not care about my numbers, whew. Big ass volatile brew. Seems like much more than 7%. Some hidden carbonation cutting thru in the end.
