On tap at Batch, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out a fragrant balance of roasted malt and earthy, piney hops - smells great. Flavour certainly delivers, with a robust, bitter piney and earthy hop character, backed by a mean roasted malt backbone. Great to see black IPAs like this still being made. Expertly executed and powerful. Excellent.
