beer_name: Hop Strike Black IPA
text: A: A hazy dark dark brown with a thick tan colored head that leaves nice lacing down the glass. S: Smokey, roasted malt with a nice pine hop aroma. T: More of the same...the flavor up front is of smoke and roasted malt with a pine hop flavor. The roasted malt dominates the hop, which I don't mind too much since the malt is nice and smokey. M: A good feel, medium body with a nice smooth peppery carbonation. O: I think this is Tommyknockers best that I've had to date. No off flavors and this is pretty tasty. Well balanced.
