12oz bottle, green solo cup.
Looks much like your standard porter or black IPA. Really nice head.
Chocolate crunch bar and chocolate malt dusted with grapefruit and orange peel. Like the chocolate oranges I used to get in my stocking.
Same thing, gentle but bitter and very tasty. Chocolate working exceptionally well with citrus.
Creamy texture, much like a porter. Medium-high carbonation.
Somehow I'm second to strike on reviews of this very good black IPA. It's simple and creamy and satisfying.

Black beer, looks porter viscosity, mild beige head on the top, 1/3". Aroma was moderately hoppy, grassy, not too aromatic, had the porter like roast coming out as well no doubt obscuring the hop aroma a little bit.
Taste, plenty bitter, at times ashy down on the back mouthfeel, grassy up front. Hops just couldn't get out of the earthy realm and into the fruity one. Another c hopped black ipa. Not bad, not worth talking about much either.
