UPDATED: SEP 10, 2020 12oz can at Beermongers, Portland, OR on 03/10/2010. Nice aroma, and more on the roasty and coffee side. Hops were present, but playing second fiddle.

UPDATED: JUN 1, 2019 Pours black, tan head. Smoke, roast, dark malt, coffee, soap, some pine resin.

UPDATED: DEC 7, 2018 12 oz can from variety pack. Smells a little piney and chocolaty. Dark brown in color. Tastes of coffee, sweet malt, and pine, interesting combination. Nice bitter sweet finish.

can @ Party Town / Florence KY --- Clear, deep mahogany brown, tan head that sinks to a thick cover, lace starfields. Taste is rich burlap-y malt with chocolate overtones that grows into a medium carbonated swallow, only to be swatted aside by edgy neutral bittering. The two sides don't have anything in common, making this a nearly good brew

Can from the case pack. Lovely dark ruby brown color. Foamy tan head. Rich and roasty. Good bitterness. Not too dry. Quite tasty.

12oz can pours out a dark brown almost black topped with a sand head. Nose is a nice mix if roast coffee ash malts and pine crisp hops. Taste is more of the nice roast combo with a pithy pine hop. Classic black ipa

12oz can from World of Beer (Charlottesville, VA). Resinous aromas, roasty, coffee, tree branch. Black with a mostly lasting off-white head. Dry, bitter, roasty. Medium-full bodied.

UPDATED: FEB 21, 2018 Almost black. With big , beige head. Hops and roasted malt in aroma. Basically mix of stout and IPA . A Good one though.

UPDATED: FEB 3, 2018 Doesn’t taste much like IPA anything to me. Maybe it’s a hoppy stout? I mainly taste stout. Enjoyable when I get it as part of a 21st amendment mixed pack, but I wouldn’t buy a six pack of it otherwise. Guinness with an extra kick.

taste is a hoppy light stout...unusual style but hops and stouts are what many crave,and hence we beer men make
