This is one half of a Black and Tan. Not just any Black and Tan, but the one where a hoppy smug and a toasted fella get together to make a sublime Taiji balance. Mix the Yin & Yang together (or enjoy this flipping good Imperial IPA solo).

(Bottle) Slightly hazy amber brown with short-lived loose off-white head. Pleasant aroma with hoppy pine to the fore with pleasant notes of citrus, toffee and maybe floral hints. Lovely palate with a fairly full body and plenty of fine creamy carbonation. Excellent taste too that evolves from a rich smooth sweet malty start to a long assertively bitter finish. In the mid palate the hop flavour steadily develop providing complexity and balance to the malt, but initially little bitterness. Considering the alcohol content it is well hidden - but there’s a lot to hide it under. An excellent beer.

12 oz bottle. Pours a lightly hazed orange amber, but with lots of small to medium particles, and an off-white head. Very juicy citrus aroma, fruity berry, pine. Flavor is more pine, grassy, and floral hops, still some citrus in there, though. Tastes a bit stale. Still pretty good, though.

Poured from 12 fl oz bottle. Cloudy dark orange with off-white head. Caramel and toffee malt with grapefruit and piney hops. The taste gives a surprising hint of subtle chocolate. Medium body, resinous finish.

BOTTLE 12 OZ. Bottled FEB-2014.
Lots of fruity caramel malts, balanced by an equally impressive amount of hops (less so in aroma, unfortunately). The result is what I call "a hoppy candy". Medium body, alcohol well hidden.

Bottle. Golden color, small head. Strong aroma of hops. Taste is very malty, with some astringent bitter hops. Really bitter aftertaste, that is a bit too alcoholic. They should lower the alcohol, or power up the body.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Superstar - Huntington, 10/19/14
Aroma: The nose of this one is juicy hops mostly, with some sweet malt notes of caramel and dough
Appearance: It pours a deep orange color with a clean, frothy beige head and some drippy lacing
Flavor: The flavor is pretty sweet up-front, juicy, and with a hop bitterness that comes in late
Palate: This beer is medium bodied, a little sticky, with a soft-to-average carbonation, and a dry finish
Overall Impression: Following up Yin with Yang was the only logical move. Yang is a sweeter example of a DIPA all the way through the start and mid-palates, but it drys out in the finish. A nice beer. I may have preferred the stout as a representation of the style though. The stickiness of the mouthfeel is a little higher than I would have preferred.
