| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 11, 2009 Thanks to Homerwantsbeer for sharing a growler. This IPA pours nearly black with dark brown around the edges. Medium foamy beige head that diminishes slowly, and stringy lacing. Floral hops aroma with notes of toasted malt. Medium body with a moderately bitter hops character with more floral notes. Roasted malt and caramel in the background along with a bit of cocoa. The finish is dry, hoppy and roasty with a lingering bitter aftertaste. Enjoyable from start to finish.
