Curious stout, almost leaning into black IPA territory with the resinous bitterness on the back end. Starts with a moderate note of bitter cocoa, cascara, and anise, followed by milk chocolate and black cherry, leading to a firm, piney, almost herbaceous finish. Cold fermentation ups the fruitiness, but in a good way. Unique, like an amped-up classic American stout. Good beer.

Ha ha, pretty funny, baby blue label for a future rating of IPA, most are a kick in the ass. So many of these IPA out there are terribly on style. This, in a big mug, which easily holds a pounder brew; it's hazy orange, with a large frothy alm0st off-white head - lasts a few minutes. Nose? Like a somewhat fresh pinecone. I paid a loot, of cash, for this pounder; about 2 fitty US$. LoL. Its bitter, its rude and yes, it has some fresh unripe green grapefruit rinds attitude about it; and I don't like it: Go Figger: At least it has an alky kick above 6%; makes it tolerable, heheeh! Has a slight amount of co2; is a little more than a pine cone. So, in the end, yes; this is a bitchen bastard, and an on-style IPA; like a goth-zillion out there; from every possible brewer in the world: And what is that? Gottah be 3 mil? No? It's a typical IPA, what else can be said? Disappointing to say the least. :( Nothing special.

First beer in 3 months (to the day). Made it the whole time with only a few cravings, all of which popped up last week (wanted hops). Tap at Sedona. Murky orange. Nose is quite tropical, very fruity/somewhat sticky hop. Flavor is more subdued than the nose, tropical, not bitter.
