Year of New Beer: Dark Penance, Founders Brewing (MI)

Written By: Dion on 09/28/2014

Initial hits of pine are followed quickly by citrus and woody, roasted malts. The elements of the nose are well integrated on the tongue, with the bitterness being strong but well-balanced by the almost charred grain. Nice notes of bitter chocolate and coffee bean. 8.9% ABV is virtually imperceptible. Outstanding black IPA. Another great beer from my Michigan haul.
