Treated as an imperial black IPA, this was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a black color with a cap of a little eggshell white foamy head. Some messy lace.
The aroma had some coffee, light bitter pine/somewhat sprucy, citrus rind, subtle earthiness, sly wood, dark chocolate and a little bit of grassiness.
The flavor was moderately bitter with a touch of the sweet and roast nipping at the back end. Aftertaste was semi-roasty, bitter, hint of sweet. Finish nipped at some roast and pine.
The palate was medium bodied with a good grip of the sipping aspect coming about. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt fine.
Overall, pretty nice imperial black IPA. I’d have this again.
