What the brewers say

“Black IPA with notes of chocolate-covered oranges, pine, and an aggressive bitterness.”

What our panel thought

“Dark chocolate, floral rosehip differentiate this one. The malt comes through with a touch of sweetness and ends with hop bitterness. Bright and clean. Not punchy, but smooth, slick roastiness makes it easy to throw back.”

What our editors thought

“Musty charred and wet wood in the nose, like a forest a year after the fire, with hints of new green growth. Sweeter in the sip with a chocolate-milk rhythm that masks more significant hop notes.”
