Taster #22 at Beer Under Glass. Remember when Back IPAs were a thing? It can still be done nicely, as we see here. Sweet malts in the nose with just a hint of roastiness. Very dark brown color and a little bit of foam. Mild hop note on top of a nice dark, but not roasty, malt profile. Maybe I'm exagerrating my rating for these beers, but I have not had one beer that I did not enjoy..
