Longshot Blackened Hops
Poured from a bottle into a stein glass. Look - close to jet black in color, with about a finger's worth of tan-colored foam that dissipates somewhat slowly. Smell - indeed a dark roasted hoppy type of smell. I don't quite feel the coffee undertones that the label hints at, at least not in the smell. Taste and Mouthfeel - strong taste of Cascade hops, and yes a bit of a roasted quality, but I still don't feel the coffee tones. The bitterness starts in the middle and lingers through the finish and aftertaste. Texture is actually somewhat light and fairly well-balanced. Overall - Not a bad brew at all, and although in general not very complex, it still tastes good and is pretty interesting.
