Draft. A black beer with a lazing brown head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, straw, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, chocolate, and caramel, leading to a bitter finish.

Dark brown color. Light brown head. Cacao and grapefruit notes, slight sweet nose. Slight sweet, and a bit muddled in the mouth. The hops don’t shine like they do in the nose. Not enough bitterness. Just average.

Pours black, dark dark brown. Just a bit if foam. Aroma is quite fresh, spices, malt character. Taste is nicely hoppy, bitter and fruits also there, not really sweet at all. Nice yeasty character that is nicely fullfilling. Slight bitter linger coming up at the end. Unusual but good BIPA

Yorocco Black Sword 6.8% This Black IPA is a deep inky black with a light beige head. This has a great bouquet featuring fruits and an underlying dark malt character.  Fairly light bodied with a very dry finish. The taste is fruity hops, some roastiness and dark chocolate. Quite a solid expression of the style. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle from the brewery, June 2016 7/4/7/4/14. Nose if licorice, orange, lemon, chocolate brownies. Clear Belgian yeast character. Black, cloudy, with a lacy head. Rich chocolate flavors, spicy, citrus fruits, dry finish. Nice. Tap at Beach Muffin. Much richer flavors this batch, spice, licorice, chocolate, orange, some coffee. A bit more roasty than I like, but very nice.
