Can thanks to Ted! Pours a near black with an earthy brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has earthy roast and dark grains with a growing pine presence. Flavor is quite similar with earthy roast, slightly bitter dark grains and a bitter pine in the finish.

Pours near black with a lingering light tan head. It smells of dark roast malt, chocolate, and piney hops. The flavor is moderately bitter. It’s roasty and piney with a medium body. Very enjoyable.

Can, Food Lion. This is the can that sold me the mix pack... not enough black IPAs out there! Pours dark brown with a large tan head and lots of carbonation. Nose is light citrus peel, roasted malt. Roasted malt, orange peel, red fruit, caramel. Not the best black IPA, but still worth drinking.

Surprised this pint isn’t better than it is. Lacks a punch; you get the mocha and roast notes mixed with citrus, but a lack of depth hampers the back end. Finishes far too clean for any IPA, much less a black one. Tiny bit of pine on the finish, but all in all seems tame for the style. Curious if this is a renamed Black Hearted and my tastes have changed.
