Bottle. Tangerine aroma with notes of orange, grapefruit, mango, lemon and pineapple. Pours clear, pale golden colored with a huge white head that has excellent retention and good lacing. Starts with juicy tangerine, mango and orange flavors. Finishes dry but still quite smooth with pineapple, lemon and grapefruit citrus flavors. Decent ipa.

AROMA: Moderate scents of malt, dark chocolate, and medium-roast coffee. As the beer warms, I start to get minor scents of hazelnuts and dried grass.
APPEARANCE: Pours an opaque black with a short (1-finger), medium-tan, tightly frothed head that dissipates slowly with excellent lacing.
TASTE: Moderately bitter with moderate sharpness. Flavors of dark-roasted espresso, unsweetened dark chocolate and cocoa nibs. The finish is slightly dry with the espresso flavor being the last thing remaining. As the beer warms it loses some of its bitterness and sharpness, which results in the flavors becoming a little muddled. When the beer was cold, I could taste each flavor individually and distinctly.
MOUTHFEEL: Full-bodied with a slightly rough/tacky texture. Carbonation is average. About the only improvement I would suggest is for a touch more creaminess in the body.
OVERALL: This is a strange beer for me because I enjoyed the flavors more when it was cold, but enjoyed the aromas more when it was warmer. While I found that conundrum a little odd, I still greatly enjoyed the beer and would happily buy it again.
