Growler from PP Carlsbad. Pours dark red as you pour it but in the glass it looks pitch black. Hold it up to the light and there is ruby red highlights. Good carbonation produces a nice 3 finger head that leaves nice lacing. Smell is nice citrus hops, light bready notes, sweet malt, faint chocolate and roast. Taste is out of this world. Dank hops, roasted malts, smoke/ash, light chocolate and earthy tones. Mouthfeel is nice with a somewhat oily texture and solid carbonation. This is much better then the Stone 11th and it was a pleasure to drink.

Now this brew is fantastic! No, really. Tap at Liar’s Club and Dtown Johnny Brown... flat out delicious. Very deceiving from the looks of it, opaque black color, but has the taste of a DIPA. Hence the name. Good balance, easy to slam down, but they def catch up with you. Too bad its all gone! Bring this one back!

On-tap at PP C’Bad. Pours very dark brown with a creamy off-white head that leaves lots of spiderweb lace. Smells dark, somewhat smokey malty and hoppy citrusy, grassy as well. Tastes hoppy but also roasty malty at the same time. The malts hit first and then the citrusy and grassy hops take over. Medium body, coats the mouth, active carbonation.

On tap @ Boulder Strong Ale Fest poured a clear dark brown with a lasting tan head. Aromas of roastiness, grapefruit, pine and earthiness. Palate was light to medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of grapefruit, pine, carmel and light roastiness with a smooth lingering bitter finish.

Draft at O’Brien’s. Like a good Schwartzbeir, this didn’t look anything like it tasted. Lots of hoppy aroma off this dark brown ale with some decent tan head... Hops were fruity, apricot and mango. Some citrus but more light fruit. Body was medium, and the flavor was more hops. Strong bitter and delicious. More pine on the flavor than in the aroma. Very very good.
