HUGE thanks to SinH4. Bottle sampled on train pre-ZBF 2018. Pale golden. Nose is very basic sugar, candy, almost funk. Lacks bit body here, very basic sugar, iron almost, harsh plastic finish, stale apple, sugar, candy, finish is not the best with the harsh plastic, no complexity. Very weak for the style.

Back in my early days of rating, early 2000s - this brewery I quite liked. Now, just after having their Double Drooling Dog IPA, I am not sure where they are going. Hazy light-golden, fizzy white cap, not much stay and lacing. Mild hops over pear notes and burnt grains. The taste has some fruitiness, but way too sweet again in the mouth. Again, unbalanced and not sure where this is going. I think Magnotta was the first real IPA I had back in the day (as in not Keith's). Not going in the right direction.

Pours a copper colour with an amber highlight. The head is frothy, light beige, with average retention and some good foamy lacing. The aromas are quite unexpected at first with some sweaty sock sourness and some crazy sweetness with hints of nuts. Eventually, this calms down to show roasted malts and coffee notes. The taste is a little too sweet for a black IPA. Not much sign of hops in here ?? Chocolate malts. Ok, some light hoppiness does start showing up, but nothing for this style. Way too sweet, like coffee with way too much sugar. Like, when we were young and starting to drink coffee. Not cool anymore.
