Description
We are an artisan brewery located 30 miles northeast of San Francisco in Concord, CA. Our brewery lies at the confluence of the mighty Sacramento river and majestic Mt. Diablo. Our name comes from the Black Diamond (coal) Mines, 8 miles east of the brewery. Here in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, nearly 4 million tons of “black diamonds” were removed from the local hills.

Nice nose of grapefruit, honey, and some pine. Flavor is resinous, very hoppy, but a tad watery. Seems kinda thin for a double ipa. Medi bitter finish with a weak citrus aftertaste.

Bottle at home. Aroma is biscuity malt, tropical fruits, piney hops, resinous, grapefruit, hint of caramel. Flavour is light sweet and moderate to medium bitter. Body is about medium. Not very crisp or fresh, but has a nice resinous hoppy character.

Bottle at home. Aroma is malt, biscuit, fruity hops, some caramel, big pine resin, orange, tangerine, some floral notes. Flavour is light sweet and medium bitter. Almost has a slight tartness from the fruits. Body is medium, nicely rich. Rather malty caramel piny, not as crisp fruity as I’d like, but a very enjoyable IPA anyway.

Bottle from Sterk Amsterdam. No way to determine the age of the bottle. Aroma is resinous hops, malt, sweetish fruits, pine resin, caramel, orange, tangerine, with some tropical hints. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet with a decent above medium bitter finish. Body is above medium. Nicely resinous and fairly sweet IIPA, I dig it.
