Served on-tap at the Brewpub a month or so ago, just getting around to adding this now.

A - Pours midnight black with a creamy one finger tall tan head leaving sticky trails of lace down parts of the glass.

S - Smells of dark roast, sticky sweet honey, grassy hops, pine needles and some nice chocolate malt. The hops are strong yet it has just the right amount of roast to keep it in check. A very nice nose.

T - This one is pretty roasty up front but then the grassy/piney hops come crashing though. A touch of sweetness from the honey, and even a bit of chocolate, round things out. Finish is very roasty, lingering on the palate long after the finish.

M - Medium-Heavy body with moderate carbonation. Nice creamy feel with plenty of hop bitterness and dark roast throughout. The alcohol is well hidden behind the bold flavors.

O - This was a very nice black IPA. Not the best I have had but definitely another winner from the guys at Tired Hands.

on tap at the brewery

Pours an opaque blackness with a creamy froth of tanned brown head resting on top. Retains throughout most of the pour while leaving patchy lacing on the glass.

Powerful piny hops in the nose with sticky resin, tempered by a roasted, full, dark malt presence. Caramel and chocolate notes with alcohol warmth.

Biting hop bitterness right up front, driven by pine and faint citrus. Thick malty backbone with roasted dark malts, chocolate, caramel and bread crust. Continuing bitterness and pine towards the dry finish with a spike of boozy heat.

Fuller medium body, well carbonated, a bit creamy and sticky on the tongue. Admittedly, I'm not typically a fan of black IPAs (or whatever you want to call them), but this was still a really tasty beer.

A: Pours very dark like a stout. Looks thick and creamy with little head.

S: Fantastic scent of hops and grapefruits, can't wait to try this.

T: Awesome. At first taste I can detect a little bit of stout like roastiness followed by strong hoppy bitterness and slight citrus flavors. I love the compliment of the two elements of this beer.

M: Smooth and light with little carbonation. Compliments the flavor very well.

O: One of the greatest beers I have had in a while, without a doubt.

Growler from Retai1LO, thanks Hayden!

A- Pours a very dark browna with a 1/4" dark tan head that leaves great lacing. It sits pitch black in the glass

S- Big piney hops and tons of dark roasty malts, looks amazing!

T- MMmmm just like the nose. Pine from the hops in front and roasty malts with some coffee coming through in the finish. Top notch!

M- Nice and smooth with carbonation getting through at the end

O- Best black ale I've ever had. Beats out Wookey Jack by a nose. Delectable

Again, thanks to Pnell316 for sending this one out to me. A real treat to get to try two beers from one of the hottest breweries out there when they don't bottle and are 2000 miles away. Poured very dark black but some light gets through when it is thin. Nice lacing. Head was pretty thin but a nice light mocha color. Aroma is of sweet hops, freshness, and vegetal earthiness. Flavor is pretty similar. Really just what you would expect in a double black IPA. Lots of sweet hops and that roasted malt. Mouth is a little light on carbonation and a medium to plus body.

Overall a really well done beer. Not trying too hard, but as there are not a whole lot of double black IPAs out there, you just want to make a good beer and that is what they have done.
