Sweetwater Dank Tank Ghoulash
A: Pours black with four fingers of billowing khaki head that recedes into a foamy cap with good lacing. S: Roasted malts up front followed by lots of grapefruit, orange, and pineapple aromas from the hops. There are some creamy chocolate notes mixed in there as well, but the hops dominate. T: Similar to the aroma, some hop notes at first followed by a big blast of orange, grapefruit, and some piny hop flavors. The finish is citrusy with some char notes and a light bitterness. Slight alcohol burn. M: The body is on the high side of medium with a good amount of carbonation as well so that this beer feels nice and crisp. The carbonation provides a nice bite for the hops and roasted malts. O: Definitely a good beer. I'd like a bit more roasted malt presence, but the hop characters are wonderful and the beer manages to avoid being too bitter like many black IPAs.
