Perfumed aroma. Completely black, bad head retention. Burned coffee aromas, which are comepletely overwhelmed by flowery hops. I am not too thrilled about the balance. Medium body and a aftertaste which slowly turns into something soapy and nauseating.

Unusual and somewhat humorous marketing strategy behind this beer but otherwise, this is a nice American Pale Ale. Firmly bitter with spicy hop flavors and aroma. Enough malt to keep it balanced. Very drinkable.
