Bottle. Chocolate malt, pine, and grapefruit peel aroma. Black with moderate tan head. Sweet chocolate malt and moderately bitter pine flavor. Body on the light side. Decent.
Bottle: Black with ruby lights, thick, tall, tan head. Very light coffee.....pine aroma. Taste is caramel malt, dark wheat malt....pine and earthy/leafy bitter. Not bad....mild throughout....nicely different.
12oz bottle, best before 01/08/16. Blvd tulip. Color is black and head sticks around into a surface covering lacing. The dark malts on the nose don’t quite get into the roasted area but they are tip toeing the line. More of an earthy, fumey, lightly charred character. Also fortunately no bitter hops. Mild hops dance around the malts. Flavor turns down the black malts a notch as well. Kind of turns into a richer brown ale. I say turn this into a brown ale but lightening the color and taking a notch off the aroma. Its enjoyable despite the silly idea of having a black pale ale.
