Draft. Almost black, thick tan head with good retention. Aroma of pine boughs lightly dipped in chocolate. Taste is bitter pine. Would like to see more of a roasty malt character, but it’s still pretty tasty.

Draft. Dark maroon brown color, tan head. Nice roasty aroma. Taste is unsweetened cocoa, used coffee grounds. Tasty.

On tap at Pies and Pints. Pours translucent black with large dark brown highlights with medium dark beige head. Hop aroma, medium carbonation, medium body, and little lacing. Taste is complex roasty and some pine resin. One of the best black IPA’s I have had.

750 ml bottle thanks to queenholly for this one. Consumed at cellar temperature. Color is an amber with a orange hue, no head. Nose is nice, apricots, tangerine and alcohol. Flavor is much of the same. Alcohol in the finish is abrupt and doesn’t linger at all. Overall it’s really not bad at all, the right amount of age can help the alcohol notes.

Hazy orange smells pretty nice. Floral and lemony but medicinal with lots of burning like grain alcohol. Slight green tea taste as well. Orange and citrus come through. Abv tastes higher than 11
