Location: Draft at the Brewpub, 9/20/13
Aroma: The nose is fairly typical, with wheat, spice, some lemon, and other fruity notes
Appearance: It pours a hazy light orange color with a white head and some lacing
Flavor: The taste is medium sweet, wheaty, with a little spice, and a mild hop bitterness
Palate: The body is light-medium, feels a little watery, and it has average carbonation
Overall Impression: I thought this one was just okay. Not really good or bad. It's on-style, it's fine, and it's also kind of forgettable.

Aroma: The nose is decently roasty, pretty malty, with some hop notes as well
Appearance: It poured a dark black color with a small head (could barely see it in the dark bar)
Flavor: The taste is fairly balanced and on-style, with roasted malts and some hop bitterness
Palate: The body is medium, it has a slightly chewy feel, and a dry, roasty finish
Overall Impression: This was a decent Black IPA overall. Not great, not bad, just straight-up decent. I could certainly drink it again.

0.355l bottle from Whole Foods, Tribeca. A really deep dark brown one, as good as black in the glass and it has a nice medium sized lingering brown grey head. Smells really nice. Oaty chocolate with some sweet licorice and lots of coffee. Really nice nose. Yeah, there is a good amount of coffee in the taste also. Has this been added coffee perhaps? Good oily on the mouthfeel and average on the carbonation level. Sweet chocolate before it ends with a little bit of blackberry juice and traces of cardboard in the finish. Not bad at all. 20.06.2013

Sampled from an enormous 1l bottle @ Top Hops (BA) Bottle Share. This is cloudy and has a orange/brown color in the glass. Not to much of a head really, just a thin film sticking to the sides of the glass. The nose is nutty and yeasty with traces of both rye and wood. In the taste I get more nuts and yeast. It also has lots if spices going on actually. The only one I manage to identify is ginger and there are also some wet grass towards the finish. Actually quite a nice one, but that enormous bottle alone? Could be a challenge, but I'll give it a go.. 15.06.2013
