A 12 ounce bottle from inlimbo77; thanks!

A deep ruby color with a thin layer of khaki bubbles drifting about the top. Smells of caramel, plum, toasted malt, and floral hops. Tastes of buttery, toasted malt, dark fruit, and burnt rice. Leaves an odd aftertaste that just doesn’t quite add up. Mouthfeel is smooth and wet, but the odd flavor left behind takes away from an otherwise good beer. Not one I'd be opposed to having again, but not one I'll seek out either.

Bottle into glass pours a large foamy head that is tan in color. The beer is a deep mohagony/amber color with hints of red and copper in light. Head settles at a moderate rate to leave heavy lacing. Smells of deeply roasted malts, pumpernickel bread, bitter dark chocolate, and faint hops with a bit of tobacco.

Taste starts with suprising but welcome citric hops (didn't get much smell of these) which are quickly overtaken by roasty malts with bitterness, chocolate, and tobacco, has a bitter, roasty, hoppy finish. Mouthfeel is medium to light with moderate carbonation for a black IPA.
