Alaskan Black IPA

I got this one as a sample from my distributor rep, and I never ordered any kegs. So, I finally sat down with that bottle, while my cursor went berserk, and I made most minimal notes. I look at them now, and think, fine, it said what needed to be said. So, I'll just put them up. Maybe some day I'll go further in depth, but they did the job then.

Alaskan Black IPA. 6.4% ABV.

Very dark. Not quite black. With crimson/brown highlights. Cocoa-tinged froth, lush and lacy.

Aroma: bright, grassy hops, chocolate malt. 

Taste: deep, dark malt, bright hops, smooth and tasty. Medium-bodied, easy drinking. Grassy hops stay on top. 

I like this. It's beer and you can drink it.
