We're known for our iconic flagships like Santa Fe Gold, State Pen Porter, and Happy Camper IPA, but we always have something new and exciting on tap or up our sleeves. Easygoing and ready to explore; rooted in New Mexico, hand-crafted, sustainably canned, and up for adventure.

Pours deep amber from the bottle. Aroma is apple brandy, caramel, schnapps. Taste is sweet, lightly peppery, full of alcohol, apple vinegar, and the warm presence of alcohol. Body is medium, with average carbonation. Finished me off for the night.

Pours dark brown from the bottle and leaves a frothy, beige head. Aroma is strongly of coffee, accompanied by smokey, earthy notes. Taste is bittersweet with a very mild sour twist at the end. Overall covers a wide spectrum of flavor, and does so with a rich, smooth body that keeps the alcohol well hidden. Good stuff.

12 oz. can. Pours a murky brown, with a big, foamy, khaki head. The aroma is very earthy, with pine sap, cloves, rye, and bitter almonds. Sweet and a little roasty, with some off bitterness, almost to the point of being sour. Medium to heavy body, lively, grainy, and chewy. Odd spicing, but not bad.

In mouth, a sweet mocha chocolate malt with light vanilla, light powdery character, silky mouth feel, light milk character, coffee grind, alcohol warmth, very nice. Can, about 3 years old.

Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a black color with an off white foamy head that dissipated at a mild pace. Light stringy lace.
The aroma had some grapefruit pith, roasted dark malts, subtle coffee beans, dark chocolate, driftwood, earthy hops, and a light dose of piney/resin bitter hops.
The flavor mildly blended the prior noted aromas fairly nice. Long yet sharp and roasty aftertaste. Sly roasty finish.
The palate was medium bodied with a good sipping quality about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt fine.
Overall, pretty nice black IPA that I could come back to if I could get it. Thanks Jason!

On tap at Tap & Bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out subdued coffee and medium roasted malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with subdued coffee and medium roasted malt. Surprisingly restrained for an impie. Pleasant but lacking oomph.

Pours hazy orange and leaves a thick, foamy head. Aroma is mango, banana, citrus. Taste has a light citric bitterness with an underlying fruity sweetness. Medium bodied, smooth. Pleasant drinking.
