Midnight black with an espresso hood that fades to impenetrable darkness. Leaving trails of fallen stars for lacing, cueing fiery gas dragons of unctuous mirage. Black molasses and treacle coil about sticky cherry reductions, curled claws of darkest chocolate and shadowy espresso. Warm smoke of charred barrel pops from the gooey depths of this imposing cauldron. Alas the treat! Dark, pure chocolate with a spike of candied cherry turns bitter and evasive as it storms headlong into the ashes of the night on a broomstick of gnarled oak imperial; fire spitting cinders in its billowing wake. Black arts at play!

Hello opacity! White ash head that looks stable, but drops quick. Sheet lacing that yawns like a cavern complete with stalagmites and ‘tites. Gorgeous nose of honeyed fig, tangerine, Meyer lemon, pink grapefruit, banana-coconut pie and pineapple sorbet. Zippy and lively metallic entry brings grapefruit oil in abundance, lime zest, lemongrass, lemon verbena, chive, starfruit, green mango, key lime, white pepper and ruby grapefruit pulp and pith. Finishes minerally, concentrated and borderline tartaric. #destihl #destihlbrewery #ilbeer #boycottbland #hazy #hazyipa #ipa #dipa #doubleipa #hazydoubleipa #iipa #citrahops #simcoehops #indiapaleale #ale #beer #bier #birra #cerveza #biere #cerveja #gratefuldead #hazeofthedead #destihlhazeofthedead #hazeofthedeaddoubleipa — 3 years ago
