An ominous aberration away from usual pine-fruited India Pale Ale. Black-canned peat-smoked nut-soured full body relies on porter-stout mocha tendencies instead. “Brewed with rich dark malts,” its dried-fruited fig-spiced date-nut gambit, tart cider spell, and peanut-shelled walnut haste could never be mistaken for typecast West Coast styling. On tap, soft-toned hop-charred coffee-burnt black cherry souring counters wood-seared peat malting.
