Bottle, almost room temp, about 60F. Big and black, giant dull roasted IPA aroma. Yes, black IPA it is with this perfumy sweeter effects down inside, yes, that sweetness I detect must be that fricken vanilla bean, quite different than most other vanilla beers I’ve had fer sure. Quite floral and perfumy on the palate, so different than most black IPA. Of course it has that horny goat back beat going on in there like any other slightly rude horny, but what - ev-vah.

Bottle. Inky black with large spongy beige head, caramel aroma with hops in the background, chocolate taste with a little hops , long bitter coffee beans finish. Very interesting brew.

Pour is a black with a huge brown foamy head. Aroma is decently hopped with notes of the dark malt. Flavor is pretty hop forward at first then comes a decent dark maltyness then the vanilla lays on your tongue after the swallow. I’ve had some mediocre beer from this brewer but this one is quite nice. Black vanilla IPA doesn’t sound like something all that great but they made it work.
