On tap at the Boise pub. Clear redish brown, the nitro makes for a dense creamy head. Faint roasted aroma and of light chocolate. Flavors are simar but more later roasts bitter was. Light bodied but plenty of flavor. Soft carbonation and a creamy palate. Pleasant but not very interesting.

On tap at the Boise pub. Pitch black, tan head and heavy sheets of lacing. Big roasted and bitter chocolate aroma. Quite bitter but the malts keep up fine. Even still finishes pretty attenuated. Big flavors but not a heavy palate. Tasty

Hazy pink in a snifter. Modest white fleeting head. Lots do tart raspberry right up front. Dry and tart flavor. Tap list says it has some hibiscus in it. Also days it is a good introduction to the "sour world". True. It is tart but palatable. Lingering teeth squeeking feel.

On tap at the Boise pub. Hazy redish amber with a small white head. Malty and mild. Malty and fairly bitter. Not quite IPA levels. Balanced and a bit woody notes also. Fairly soft and full palate. Pretty good. My first draft at the new Boise site.

Nice very dark brown coloured body with a rich, three centimetre tall tan head - very opaque for the style, even when held to a light. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malt and huge helpings of passionfruit and pineapple - very nice and complex with some dark caramels and light tropical notes! Medium-bodied; Rich roasty malt flavours with a lot of caramel and toffee and a super pungent pineapple and resinous hop note right afterward. Aftertaste shows a great balance of roasted malt and very pungent tropical and resinous hop flavours and a smooth sweet finish with hints of bitterness from the hops and mainly from the roasted malt. Overall, one of the better Black IPAs i’ve ever had - a great blend of roasted malt and deep characteristics with fruity and tropical hop flavours - worked very well and I wish I could get more of this...i’m not sure why this has such a low rating! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Pearl Specialty Market in Portland, Oregon on 26-April-2013 for US$1.99 sampled at home in Washington on 01-July-2013.

On tap Boise location. Pours out a clear crisp live golden topped with a ring of a head. Aroma is awsome watermelon jolly rancher, light cucumber, sweetness and some of the Berliner base. Taste is great more of the jolly rancher, cucumber, lemon, and not over the top sour. The sour is not q pucker just a nice mellow.

22oz Bottle Pours out a little hazy straw topped with a white fizzy ring of a head. Aroma of sweetness, citrus, and some grain. Taste is more of the sweetness, lots of citrus notes, no bitterness, smoothing swillin brew for sure.
