355ml can from Beer Gonzo. Pours black in colour with a beige foam head leaving lacing. Aroma of bready malt with roast and hoppy notes. Taste is malty, bready, roasted, dark chocolate with some mellow pine and citrus hop bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry tangy earthy bitter finish. Quite drinkable black IPA.

Can from Whole Foods - Indian School Plaza. Pours out with a nice inky black body and creamy beige head, reminiscent of a stout. Aroma favors the roast malts, while taste brings in a bit of fruitiness, and a bite which reminds me of a schwarzbier. The bite lingers on the palate with a hint of sweetness. Not expecting this to be so delicious....

Bottle from Whole Foods-Indian School Plaza. Everything as it should be for the appearance and the aroma. Taste also right in the wheelhouse for the style. Currants, prunes, yeast. Kind of dry, chalky finish.

Pour is a brownish red with a small tan head. Aroma is what the can says I should be getting. A dry cacao with some chili paste without the heat. Flavor is watery and thin with cacao and chilies barely making an appearance. The aroma was fine but this turns into a boring brown ale real fast. If your going to make a beer with cacao an chili you better make them more pronounced than this.

[1/30/16] Bottle sample at the Encomium bottle share, after RateBeer Best awards ceremony at Hyatt Vineyard Creek Hotel in Santa Rosa. Thanks everyone who shared bottles! Murky brown. Roast, dark fruits. Sourish-sweetish.
