5oz pour at brewery. Pours with with tan head. Aroma has strong roasted malt. Flavour has a great roasted malt profile, some sharp pine backing it up. Not the most expressive black IPA, but still very enjoyable.

Draft at the source. Dark clearish brown color tan head. Aroma of pine and soft roast. Taste is bitter pine resin on a dark roast coffee background.

473mL can, pours a deep dark brown / near-black with a large beige head. Nose is very restrained, with soft, earthy, slightly piney hop character, very gentle roast, and soft bready malt. Flavour is more robust than the nose suggested, with plenty of bitter piney hops that combine well with a softer roasted malt backbone. Very soft roast but it works well enough; and there's a nice residual bitterness to the hops. More timid than a top-tier black IPA, but I'm just happy to see this style brewed in this day and age.

Dark brown. Medium head. Chocolatey aroma with a bit of piney hops. On the sweeter side with toffee accents. Lots of hop expression just not bitterness. So a creamier example.
