10 oz stemless wine glass draft at Cerebral Brewing in Denver, Colorado. The pour is black, opaque, with a well formed tan head. The aroma is cocoa, pine, resin, and general bitterness. The taste is a nice blend of soft roast, toasted malt, and then a nice blast of pine resin, a touch of slightly sweet cocoa near the back and finishes dry with bitterness. The palate is medium bodied, warming, and the dry softly bitter finish. Nice Black IPA, this is how I like the style.
