Bottle thanks to Kenny. It pours darkest brown with a tiny off-white head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, earthy roasted malt, tangy dark fruits, plum, D&B, cola pine needles and coffee grounds. The taste is bitter - sweet, charred roasted malt, burnt pine, rich roast, ashy, peppery spice, wood shavings and soapy citrus with a dry, charred finish. Medium body and average carbonation. A touch raw maybe, but decent enough overall.

Thank you tderoeck! 330 ml. bottle split post ACBF 2017. Black, big creamy mocha head. Nose is herbal, roast, bitter licorice, herbal roast. More malt roast bitter than hop bitter. Taste is herbal roast, mocha, bitter grains, very dry, old school bitter Porter BIPA, herbal coffee, grainy, big dry roast. Not a modern BIPA at all but a quite nice beer.
