Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to nonic glass.
Appearance: super dark brown in color with a two finger eggshell white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: dark chocolate notes, some coffee roastiness and light citrusy hop notes
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine roasty to bittersweet blend; finishes roasty and with the citrusy hops
Texture: light to medium bodied, leaning to slightly being a sipper; not so smooth as plenty of dryness and some roasty to citrusy hops both grind into the tongue - however, this one does not show as much "palate wrecking" capabilities as many other black IPA's do
Overall: though a bit weaker on the "palate wrecking" capabilities and a subtly lighter hue than many other black IPA's, this might be a decent grab if you're truly craving a black IPA in a pinch.

Growler from Super Buyrite in Hamilton, NJ. Pours a mahogany brown color topped by a small creamy beige head. Fragrant citrus hop nose. Upfront, flavor is roasted malt with caramel notes, quickly transitioning to bitter resiny hops. Midtaste has notes of bittersweet chocolate and spicy, peppery hops. Finish is dry and hints at citrus hoppiness. Overall, a complex and interesting Dark IPA.
