Dark Penance (2015)

IPA - Imperial / Double Black

A heavy malt foundation includes Crystal malt for sweetness and just enough Midnight Wheat malt to push the color to black. The bitterness is huge, but balanced by malt sweetness and alcohol burn. The hop flavors and aromas range from citrus to floral to pine thanks to a delicious blend of hand-selected Chinook and Centennial hops.

(3.65) Sweet caramel malts, aged musk, piney hopd and grapefruits; lingering bitterness on the finish. Good head here too... Speed tasting through my 2015/16 cellar collection.
