Gold award winning Black IPA. Hints of chocolate blend with American hops that gives resiny, pine and citrus flavors.

Clean, dark brown colour with some ruby higllights, a fluffy-frothy warm-beige head, good stay and lots of sticky lacing. Aromas are a nice mix of grassy hops and the roasted malts. Hints of cacao balance things. The taste is smooth, with not overly hoppiness, but enough to cover the roasty barley base. Slick mouthfeel with a slow building dryness, that stays refreshing. An easy-drinking Black IPA that does the job.

Brewery draught, 3/15/24. Clear, dark brown, not black. Medium-sized, dark beige head, modest retention. Cola, nuts, coffee, some light vanilla and cream with plants and more mineral. Pretty roasty and toasty. Quite high bitterness from dark malt. Maybe the hop acids combine but this is too much. It's not thin or anything, just tannic, resinous, over roasted/toasted.
