Apperance: This IPA is black, very black, has a tan head that leaves lacing. (4) Aroma: The smell has burned notes, toast, but also some grassy hops. (3.5) Taste: A rather small sweetness, brown sugar and bread that is complemented with a good burned crust bitterness. (4) Palate: Medium high carbonation, rather soft and round, a slightly dry finish. (3.5) Overall: A good balance between stout and IPA, possibly is the stoutiness a bit dominant. (4)
