Longest Night is dark and malty, due to the generous use of both chocolate malt and black malt. And, let’s talk hops. Longest Night contains plenty of Millenium, Cascade, and Glacier hops used during the kettle boil. But, it also is dry-hopped with both Cascade and Millenium. Coming in at 6.0% abv, full of both malt and hop flavours, and with plenty of hop bitterness, this is not the beer for the faint of heart. Nor is it a beer for procrastinators, as it will likely be gone by New Years. Come fill your growler now! Before it really is the longest night.

Today’s live review.
From a haul back down from Whitehorse.
Two of these, both were poured into pint glasses.
The appearance was a hazy dark brown color with a one and a half finger white to off white foamy head that dissipated within about forty seconds. A super nice looking speckling of lacing graced the sides of the glass.
The smell started off with a decent amount of dark chocolate malt to allow a decent roast and lead to a fairly decent dry coffee bean aroma.
The taste was pretty much the same with a slight added sticky sweetness rolling over my taste buds.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. However, I must admit that there’s a fairly watery aspect noticed in this beer.
Overall, for a Black IPA this one would be a maltier version of this style as I don’t get the bitter hops I normally associate with black IPA’s. For the most part, this one wasn’t bad at all, as it could be construed as a porter possibly.
