What Our Panel Thought
Aroma: “Milk chocolate with light astringency and perhaps a touch of caramel sweetness. As it warms, moderate roast and a light smokiness are present.”
Flavor: “Tastes like a black IPA, strong roast dark malt with aggressive pine/citrus hopping. Finish has a dry lingering bitterness, with a somewhat ashy astringency. Caramel sweetness mid-palate balances nicely on the finish.”
Overall: “Strong roast dark malt with an aggressive American IPA hops profile, so not exactly a porter, but still a well-made and interesting beer. The finish has some nice caramel and chocolate notes (in addition to lots of roast), and this pairs well with the dank, almost cheesy hops.”
