Snowdrift IPA pours a black color with a nice large lacing head. There is a mellow smokey aroma, with just hints of floral notes form the hops. The taste has a smokey burnt hop like flavor, with just a bitter hit on the palette, then chocolate flavors sneak in at the end. Just a bit watery, but easy to drink. Overall a very different beer. Has some black IPA flavors that finishes sweet and mellow.

A - Poured out a jet-black color with a one-finger, light brown head of foam. It left little to no lacing.

S - It smelled of pine and roasted malts.

T - Good roasted malt character with a piney bitterness. A touch of citrus, too.

M - It was a little thin for a black IPA. But it had a clean, dry finish.

O - This is an okay black ale. At $7 for a six pack it is a nice bargain.
