Bottle from New Beer Distributors, NYC. Pours an attractive opaque black with a good sized tan coloured head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, milk chocolate, lactose, dark fruits and vanilla. Medium plus sweetness, moderate roasted bitterness. Medium body, texture a little thin, with average to soft carbonation. Aside from being that bit watery, its otherwise pretty enjoyable.

Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a burnt glossy copper color with a sly transparency about it. Carbonation was somewhat seen rising at a moderately slow pace. Speckled lace followed the finger’s worth of white foamy head that slid off fairly slow.
The aroma had some bold citrusy to floral hop character up front flowing over a clean sturdy malt base - somewhat caramel/toffee.
The flavor was moderately sweet through the blend of hops to malts and infusing a stiff biscuit/cracker backbone that bled into the aftertaste. Finish was malty but had a little bit of hop spice.
The palate was about medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt good. ABV felt appropriate. Some acceptable bitter harshness.
Overall, I was a bit surprised at this one as it seemed like a Long Trail IPA put on steroids to lean towards the American side of the wheelhouse and actually quite good. Amazing that I grew up in the county directly north of this brewery and I haven’t had this IPA until this week and it’s as good as it is.
