This black ipa poured a deep black colour with a creamy brown head. Scents include hops, little smoke and molasses. Minimal lacing. First swig was a little hoppier than expected out of a black ipa. Burnt, smoky malt with grapefruit /citrus hops and a lightly sweet finish. Lingering flavours of smoke and minimal dark chocolate with a bitter flavour. Not as good as the original Black IPA but a nice runner up.

Looking like cola with a dark brown colour, a big frothy beige head that lasts a while, giving some nice creamy lacing. Nice aromas of roasted malts, chocolate notes, molasses hints and dark fruits. The taste is also roasted malts, mostly. Mild coffee and nuttiness. Very easy to drink like a Schwarzbier should be. Quite a nice one.
The local craft at Canyon Creek. It's got that dusty malt that comes with a certain kind of malt that I've run across a few time, but it not bad. Sweet malt, mild dustiness, mild chocolate. It's ok.

This lager poured a deep amber colour with a creamy off white head. Minimal lacing. Scents include cheese, light fruit citrus and a bit of dough. First swig was quite thin with flavours of smoke, peat and leather? Finish is a little cereal and smoke.
