On tap at Pizza Port San Clemente, pours a red-tinged dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma is fairly mild, with earthy, piney hops and moderate roast on the backside. Flavour is powerful yet balanced, with a great balance of earthy, piney hops and roasted malt to back. Fairly dry, with a more laid back flavour profile than some of the more forceful black IPAs out there. Excellent.
