Deep dark brown coloured body that’s about 90% opaque with a pleasant, three to four centimetre tall rich light bown head. Aroma of roasted malt, light smoke, tons of alcohol, a lot of malt and rich caramel notes that ends with some faint fruity scents as well. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong hoppy flavours of grass, grapefruit, herbs and a smooth and pungent malt flavour that burns as it goes down - straight from the assertive alcohol flavours. Overall, a nice Imperial IPA with a ton of alcohol flavours, some rich hops and a big malt backbone which shows well in addition Good to sample and if easily available, this one would be a sure pickup, however, it it isn’t cheap. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 15-November-2016 for US$8,99 sampled at home in Washington after returning from New York on 22-January-2017. Bottle #1258 of #3000, Purchased: 15-Nov-2016 // Sampled: 22-January-2017

22oz bottle pours a murky black with some frothy, beige head. Nose has toast, molasses, crackers, some pine, soap, light coffee bean. Flavor follows along, burnt toast, bread crust, heavy molasses, pine is there, dried citrus rind, soap. Full bodied and bitter, but drinks surprisingly easy for 10%.

Draft: Charred oak, pine, grapefruit aroma. Black, thin tan head, good lace. Grapefruit, charred oak, mulberry . Medium body, easy carbonation. Appropriate hop bill for the style. Unlike so many other breweries, these guys get the style.
