Aroma - Hops up front, grassy and slightly citrusy. I pick up a slight roast in the background there.
Appearance - Very dark brown, almost black. Ruby highlights. Tan head that lasts.Flavor - Upfront, hops sweet citrus, spicy, hint of grassy dry hopping followed by slight roasty malt backbone. Smooth bitterness from the Chinook hops that balances everything out.
Mouth-feel - Medium mouthfeel. Carbonation spot on, supporting the balance and drinkability of the beer.
Overall - Great Black IPA! I like this one because there there is nice roasty tone in the background that is very interesting and keeps me coming back for more. I love the hop combo used, nice citrus-orangy with a grassy dry hop presence. Very balance and quaffable.
