Pearl Street Beverage, Burlington, VT can: pours a sort of muddy dark brown with a beige head. Aroma is pine, spice, sugarless dark chocolate, and some dirt for good measure. Taste is quite bitter. Dark chocolate, deep earthiness, and loads of pine. This is an uncompromising BIPA. Old school, dirty, yet clean. What the style was intended to do.

Half glass sample at the brewery.
The appearance was a dark brown close to black color with no head but a nice amount of filmy lace clinging to the sides of the glass.
The aroma started off with a thick big blend of roasted dark malts flowing into a nice resinous/piney hoppiness and then some light citrus bitterness.
The flavor blended well between the sweet and roast and then letting the bitter pineyness pounce in for great balance. Semi-sticky resinous to roasty aftertaste. Quick dry finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sipping quality about it. Good composure with the ABV feels good, doesn’t slide or grip too extraneously.
Overall, best beer I had today. Definitely would love having more of this.
