Draft at the Merrifield location. Poured a dark, dark, dark brown color, almost pitch black, creamy off-white head. Aroma was notes of roasted malts, fruity and earthy hop notes, nice balance in aroma between malt and hop that seems to be lost with many black IPAs. Flavor was nice balanced fresh hop notes along side a decent hop character.
