Can from the lcbo. Dark brown pour, with a large beige head. Sweet malts, roasty coffee notes and strong pine resin hops. Mouth feel is soft, same with the carb. Nice resinous finish with alot of coffee notes. Reminds me alot of a very hopped American porter.

Pours a dark brown colour with a little ruby-caramel highlights. Big frothy light-mocha coloured head, good stay and levelled lacing. You can smell the coffee over the roasted malts. It calms down, and eventually some sweetness does come out, like chocolate notes. The taste shows the hops with bitterness and dryness. The roasted malts grains linger a while as dryness builds. The coffee is light in this Black IPA, but adds a nice touch overall. Pretty good!

Can from the LCBO. Clear very dark mahogany with a large frothy khaki coloured head that lingers and leaves nice lace. Nose is coffee with toasted nuts, molasses, pine and grapefruit in the background. Light+sweet toffee and molasses with a medium bitter middle and finish with the coffee taking the fore but not overpowering. Mouth is medium and a bit oily with a relatively dry finish. Not usually a fan of coffee blends, but this one works. 7+/4/7-/4-/14

This IPA poured a deep black colour with a nice creamy tan head. Scents of coffee and that’s it. First swig was nice and creamy with delicious coffee flavour. Finish is burnt and coffee flavors are lingering forever.
