Sample at the brewery in january, Was told this was the proto-type for the stout since Portugese customers dont like hoppy beers so they dropped this one.... Anyway Black beer, small head. Aroma is hoppy, citrus, passion fruit, roast, coffee, malt. Taste is the same, roasted coffee bitterness and dryness in the aftertaste. One of the best Black IPA's i have had, too bad they retired this one.
