Tap at Q-Brick. Said to be 4.5%. Nose of chocolate, orange, nice malt character. Nice black color. Lovely balance of slightly roasty chocolate malts and hops, good citrus flavor. Light, crisp and very drinkable. Maybe 6% is right. Slightly too rich for 4.5! Great.

North Island collaboration with an assortment of bars. A black IPA, a great looking black pour with a filmy beige head with great staying power. A lovely floral hoppy bouquet plus creamy dark malts. The taste is piney bitterness, cracker, some vague cinnamon spiciness, dark malt notes and a lingering fairly neutral bitter quality with a good dose of chocolate.
