Oct 11, 2009 Bittersweet dark chocolate, hickory and ashy notes join a light flowery citrus hop character and some fruity notes in the aroma. Deep brown body is topped by a generous tan head that recedes to a thick and lasting cover and coats the sides of the glass with very nice lacing. Quite sweet in flavour and somewhat lactic especially in the aftertaste. Bitterness is pronounced without being aggressive floral hops linger in the aftertaste. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Tulip glass. Cellar temperature. Bottle purchased at Brewery Creek in Oct-09.

Oct 9, 2009 Bottle. Pitch black body with a creamy tan head. The aroma is flowery hoppy with notes of citrus and pine. Light coffee notes as well. The flavour is piney, citrussy and light roasty with notes of bitter coffee and black bitter malt. Very nice!

Oct 5, 2009 Bomber. Pours a deep, dark crimson to chestnut brown hue with a small head of khaki colored foam. Soapy lacing mostly rejoins the body, though some spotty lacing does remain behind on the glass. The aroma shows a base of black patent malt, dark cocoa, and burnt caramel sugars, with a hint of coffee and a hefty dose of sticky, resinous pine hops. Flavors follow suit, again based in semi-dry, slightly lactic dark cocoa, with burnt, slightly acrid caramel and heaps of citrusy, piny hop bitterness. Though it’s highly hopped, there’s a good amount of balance going on here. Medium-plus in stature, the palate sports a fat-bubbled prickliness and a slightly dry finish. It’s a very solid black IPA, though there are several that eclipse it.

Oct 5, 2009 22 fl oz bomber from Supreme Liquors, Cambridge MA. Definitely more of a dark IPA in style than anything else. Very dark red/brown colour - almost black really. Tan head. Bags of juicy hops throughout. Good chocolate malt too. All in excellent balance. Rich but not cloying, drinking very easily for 9%. Powerful yet measured. Lots of other nuances but, to be honest, I was enjoying this beer too much to get too much into the analytics. Sometimes a beer just hits the right spot. This one certainly did so for me.
