From tap at Beachwood BBQ. Pours hazy dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is toasted malty and caramelish, light fruity. Solid bitter, grapefruity and citrusy. Dry, roasted malty and solid hoppy, bone dry finish.

On tap listed as "Strand Black IPA". Pours with a deep brown near black body with a large and retentive khaki hued head. Very good lace. Aromas of hops (pine, citrus, lightly herbal), chocolate and molasses. Some esters. Pretty malty for what I was expecting. Flavors are bitter, earthy, roasty, soil. Some faded hops. Lasting bitterness in the finish. Light dankness. Seems faded. Medium bubbles, a bit too sweet in the finish.
Unknowing rerate: Near black body with a tan head. Aromas are of roast, vanilla, caramel, leather, with mild spicy hops. Flavors are of citrus, leather, chocolate, esters and mild fruit. Full bodied, and quite mild on the hops. This is a hoppy porter. No better than the original rating score wise.
