Dark brown color, i want to call it rootbeer looking, but its actually lighter than that. You can see through it and there are a ton of red hughes coming through it. About a 1 finger light tan rocky, frothy head on top. Lots of laving being left on the glass. This really is a cool looking beer. Aroma is grain, toasted barley, dark fruits, raisens, and some toasted bread. Same flavors on the palatte that I got in the nose. Bitter finish, and dry. Good Balance, leaning a little to the side of malty. Creamy medium/full mouthfeel. Litte bit of bite from the carbonation. They say it is a "Black IPA" but it doesnt feel anything like an IPA to me. Think that is just some creative marketing. It is a little too sweet for my taste to drink more than one of these. Still a pretty good brew non the less.

Poured a ruby-brown color into a pint glass with a three-quarter inch head. I smell hops! Wonderfully balanced hop to malt character. Roasted malt flavor, bitterness of some hops, tons of carbonation. Feels very crisp on the tongue and goes down easy like a coke on a hot summer day. This is a delicious beer.

A: A very dark brown with good clarity. The thick head is made of long lasting, light tan rocky bubbles that leave a sticky lacing on he glass.

S: A medium citrus hops aroma with a moderately-strong grassy note from dry hopping. There are medium-low malt aromas of sweetness and chocolate. A strong alcohol character brings a bit of floral note towards the back.

T: The bitterness dominates with a medium-strong hops bitterness and a a fairly strong citrus hops flavor. There is a bit of the malt sweetness coming through with a low chocolate and coffee note. The balance is very bitter, overly so with out enough malt to support it. The finish is off-dry and the aftertaste is all citrus hops and long, lingering bitterness.

M: A somewhat creamy, medium bodied beer with a moderately strong level of carbonation. A light bit of harsh prickle on the palate and some warmth in the back of throat.

O: This is an unbalanced beer with a harsh bitterness, but it drinks better when not too cold. It does have a lot of hops with some dark grain character but it just come together more so because of too much C hops. That being said I'd still try this beer if I found it on tap.
