Tasting at Bruce’s pad. Thanks to Leighton for this scarce cda. Opaque black - brown beer with a big pale tan head. Palate is soft and airy. Soft creamy malt with just a touch of dark character. Whisper of dark malt tang. Light piney hops, mellow spice. Finishes smooth. Good!

Bottle thanks to Leighton. It pours near black with a thick tan head. The nose is earth, toast, varnish, soap, juicy, orange peel, lemon sherbet and cocoa. The taste is roasted malt, toast, earth, cocoa, coffee, citrus peel, decent bitterness, ash and tobacco with a dry, roasty finish. Medium body, moderate carbonation and foamy mouth-feel. A solid black IPA.

Bottle split at Bruce’s pad, big thanks once more to Leighton who infact provided 0.25 of the Black IPA’s on this database for one tasting, 09/12/13. Light black with a moderate tan covering that clears to a pond. Nose is earthy cocoa, light beef gravy (yup!), pine, hops, light tropicals. Taste comprises dank hops, light soap, earthy cocoa, hint of pine, light tropical fruit medley. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, dry earthy closure with a trace of hop bitterness. Ok CDA.

Bottle shared at Bruce’s in London - I picked this one up in Portland, Maine. Pours black-brown with a thick, frothy beige head that leaves some lacing. Lots of burnt pine in the nose, so,e ark bread, suggestions of milk chocolate. Light to medium sweet flavor with earth, more burnt pine, well lasted bread, some ripe citrus. Medium bodied with fine, creamy carbonation, dry finish with torched grass, pine, burnt bread, chalky cocoa. Decent.
