Ska Brewing - Toasters 30th Anniversary SheBeen Black IPA

ABV Unknown
I know nothing about this brewer or this beer! It was purchased and consumed in Vail, Colorado -- likely a local microbrewery.

Drinking beer out of a wine glass... I'm so FANCY!
Appearance: It looks like a porter. Deep black and opaque. There is some nice lacing.

Smell: All I get is roasted coffee.

Taste: There is a slight hop bitterness, and also bitterness from the roasted (almost burned) coffee character. Overall it's just bitter and acerbic.

Mouthfeel: Medium and smooth bodied, with light carbonation.

Overall: I was really not impressed by this. There was no depth of flavor or balance. It was just coffee and bitter both on the nose and the palate. It wasn't gross or horrible to drink, just very basic.

2/5
