Draft - Roasted malts and piny hops. Peep clear maroon with a decent beige head. Roasty bitterness and some piny hops. Roast dominates, but overall decent.

650 ml bottle. Pours a very dark mahogany with moderate head. Aromas of chocolate, light pine, and light roasted malts. Flavors of bitter black coffee and bitter hops. Some chaulkiness but mostly just bitter.

Dull light brown, crackery stale coffee taste, moderate bitterness. Ok, like the others it’s a bit unrefined.

Draught @ St. Augustine’s, Vancouver, BC
Pours pitch black with a smooth white head. Aroma of roasty malts, licorice, coffee and hops. Taste is a bit watery with some roastiness, licorice, coffee and grassy hops. Finish is wet, smooth and mildly roasted. Okay, a bit light bodied and mildly hopped CDA. --- Beer merged from original tick of Absolute Horizon CDA on 02 Jun 2014 at 21:37 - Score: 7.

On tap at Bomber, pours an opaque dark amber brown / near-black with a medium tan head. Nose is quite chalky, with a dry hoppy note and toasted malt foundation. Flavour is well-balanced between the roasted malt and dry piney hops, with a very small residual sweetness. Finishes lightly roasty and chalky, with a mild astringency. Very solid black IPA.

Draught at the brewery
16oz
Black color with small beige creamy head. Aroma of dark malts and some coffee; the light aroma of cheesy yeast is actually a good complement. Fairly smooth mouthfeel; the dark malts dominate, there is also a touch of dark chocolate and coffee, but not ashy luckily. Strong bitterness, some hop resins hidden by the roastiness.
Balanced, very pleasant, fresh.
