Numerous shaker pours at the brewpub and a whole pitcher once. This was a very good brew for this brewpub, who usually fail at more "extreme" styles. This is exactly what a black IPA should be like. Black color with a tan head that sticks around. Light roast is easily discernible in the flavor. Hops abound in both aroma and flavor. The beer is well attenuated and has a light, very drinkable body to boot. I could drink these rather easily without noticing the alcohol at all. So if you want roast and hops (smorgasbord of American hops) that is easy to put down than this is your kind of beer.
