My bottle says Penn Brewery IPA. Pours thick & viscous like any other good IPA with a solid head. Look, I’m not a fan of IPA so I’m not sure how this will go. Big IPL aroma, nose is dull and forceful. The first taste is nothing but big volatile strong hops, they want to roto-till your palate. They keep trying and trying, so impressive and over the top, whew. I’m thinken this burgher aught to be a double or tripple IPA. There is some co2 in there but I can barely detect it because it just keeps kicking my ass with all these hops. Massive, viscous, rude nasty nellie. Get out of my face! Yep, I see its 7%, its got to be an impy IPA!! Hey, great idea; lets all get pine tree tar and mix in a little turpentine, then get some green grapefruit rinds & spruce saplings, juice em, then mix it in. There, yah have it.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a dark brown close to black color with a thin rim of tan foamy head. Speckled lace.
The aroma had sweet and dark chocolate with a little bit of smoke/ash and a light earthy hoppiness at the end.
The flavor was semi-sweet with some of the bitterness of the dark chocolate coming out more as it warmed. Light aftertaste of the milk and dark chocolate playing with the smoke. Same as in the finish.
The palate was between light and medium bodied with a steady sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt fine as well.
Overall, for a sweet stout, it’s a bit crushable I’d say.

Tap, at market district. Very dark like rootbeer or cola. Not sure if this is a pils or a lager, more like a dark domestic wheat wine or strong dark lager. Smooth creamy head that fades. Slight spiced nose on a clean fresh beery aroma. Decent co2 with its mildly cutting creamy palate. A little medicinal near the end but for 9%, this is fairly well behaved. Glad to have had the chance to try this Penn Brewery bubbly drink. Yea, strong but not bad.
