Thanks for the bottle Stephanie.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a black color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute. Light lacing trickled around the sides of the glass.
The smell started off with a light roasty and kind of burnt/char perhaps and then allowed a decent bitter citrus to come across lightly.
The taste was pretty much the same as the smell.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. The carbonation had enough harshness to tell me it’s a black IPA. The roastiness rolling over my tongue carried the char in itbas well.
Overall, good black IPA, could possibly come back to.

Bottle thanks to Sean! Pours dark brown with a lot sediment and a brown head that dissipates to the edges and laces slightly. Aroma has a bit of pine hops with backing roasted malts and a bit of underlying rye. Flavor had roasted malts with a growing pine note with a hint of backing rye.

On tap at HopCat, Grand Rapids. Deep red-brown translucent body, thin off-white head. Thin nose, woody with notes of chocolate, roast, and light vanilla. The body was a different story, with harsh, medicinal vanilla extract that overwhelmed the thin roasty, woody base porter. Bitter and prickly. Ugh.

On tap at MBGSF 2011. Pours a red amber with an off-white head. Aroma is quite fruity and has some toasty citrus. Toasty citrus flavor with lots of herbs, earthy tones with a hint of toffee. Solid.
