Silken pureed Italian plum influence buried beneath brutish mocha fruited Cascadian Dark Ale (a.k.a. Black IPA) tendencies. Stove-burnt coffee, dark-roasted chocolate and cocoa nibs affect pine-charred cola-pecan-hickory nuttiness as well as murky pinor noir-wined purple grape, black cherry, fig and date illusions. Distant charcoal burn picks up dewy earthen din at dried fruited finish.
