Town Hall Hopped Condition Black IPA

Town Hall Hopped Condition Black IPA. 7% ABV. They've been brewing this off and on for over a year now, and I've at last brought home a growler of it. Let's drink some.

Dark coloring, with crimson highlights at the edges. short-lived, cocoa-tinged head.

Aroma is perfect chocolate covered pinecones. Or grassy caramel, take your pick.

In the mouth: boom, hops. boom, malt. This is not shy on either side. But it's neither large or obtrusive, fairly smooth and definitely consumable. Sweet and bitter do a tasty tango on the tongue. Grassy/piney hops ride over dark malt, medium body, good beer and you can drink it. And I am enjoying the drinking.
