Dark Horse Brewing Company - Crooked Theratree Black Ale
Beer Type: American Black Ale - 8.50% ABV
Appearance: Label is a variation on the classic Crooked Tree only dressed as a therapist. Beer pours a jet black color with a decent tan/light brown head. Looks more like a porter.
Smell: Roasted coffee malt, something a bit piney/resinous, and in general just really good smelling.
First Drink: Rich flavor with a lot of roasted malt and grain coming through right away. Hops kicks in more towards the end with a pleasing bitter finish.
Mouthfeel: Smooth medium bodied brew with nice carbonation.
Last Drink: The lighter citrus hops come through a bit clearer now.
Drinkability: This is a balanced black ale and you can't really taste the higher ABV.
Notes: Not sure how widely this is available as it was a limited IPA sampler selection.
Verdict: 4.25 out of 5. A nice departure from other black IPA/ales out there.
