Brown dark color, aroma RevealsCarmel dark berries and hops present clearly through the nose flavors Include Carmel apple sweetness , butter bread, molasses between well-balanced dryness. Nice finish with some Alcohol notes

Good color and good head. The labeling is a little lack luster (which I know has no bearing in the taste). Very malty in the sense that it taste like a solid brown ale but it has slightly more hops than I expected from a traditional brown ale, which I greatly appreciated.

Being from Yakima I wanted to love this but... I'm not in love. An interesting balance of hops and malt, but I just don't think black IPA's are really my thing. A bit heavy, don't think I could drink more than 1. Worth a try, though!

I did not care for this beer. Very malty, almost sweet as it left a sticky residue in my lips. But the initial taste is sour. The deep brown color comes from the carmalized malt that was too much for me.

One of the best beers ever!!! God bless the Yakima valley!!!!

A bit too roasted and coffee flavor for me.

Over the top hop, good but heavy. One's enough.

Crisp, refreshing, almost fruity and tart for a Black IPA, but that blends in a unique and wonderful way with the roasty Black IPA profile. Not as dark, roasty, or hoppy as most other Black IPA's, but delicious and surprising! Wonderful!
