On tap at Hashigo Zake. Aroma is a little buttery, but there’s plenty of charcoal and pine too. I’ll also forgive any problems in the aroma for a taste like this. Clean bitter pine up front, a little juicy peach in the middle and then a smooth dark chocolate finish. Bitter, refined and complex. This is everything a black IPA should be.
