This dark ale is dominated by a pronounced hop aroma of pine and spruce, with subdued notes of fresh cut wood and special herbs. It features a clean hop taste with a subtle, dry roasted malt character in the background and a tangy, opulent mouthfeel.

Had this draft beer during the 7/4 beer tour 2014 at Hollywood Gardens/Brixton. Nice looking dark beer. Smell is dull b/o of your favorite mate. Yes, dark attributes carry over to the flavors. Definitely has lots of IPA for a backbone. Yes, typical big dull medical black ipa finish. Lasts & lasts well after the session.

Drought. Dark brown with tan spongy head, caramel-roasted malt aroma, low carbonation, caramel-nuts taste, thon body, longish finish with bitter aftertaste. Interesting but not special.

On tap at Brewforia Beer Market, Meridian, ID Deep nearly opaque dark brown black, with a modest but dense creamy dark tan head. Lots of up front resh hop aroma that overpowers the roast. Like I think it should. Flavors are again mainly hops. Plenty bitter but lots of late hop flavor. The coffee and roast are here a bit more, but still second fiddle to the true nature of what a west coast IPA should be. Bold bitter and hoppy but definitely "black"

In general, I’m very much in favor of black IPAs, I think they’re very creative. This one, though, is a bit too conservative, and although it has decent pine in the aroma and flavor, it’s malt characteristics are too understated for it to be memorable.

Sampled on draft at Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a dark brown color with a red tint. Clear. Medium sized offwhite frothy head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of citrus hops and chocolate malts. The taste is bitter roasted malts, bitter hops, citrus hops and some chocolate. Medium bodied.

Tap at Pacific Coast Brewing. Pours black with a creamy tan head. Aroma seems citrus. Med body. Creamy burnt malt with a lot of resin hop - finishing a bit like grapefruit rind. Burns! Just excellent.
