Dogzilla (Laughing Dog)

I first got on to the Laughing Dog Brewery with their interesting labels and their Dogfather the Imperial Stout. This Black IPA is perfect for a Halloween night.

From the Laughing Dog site:

"A Big Bold Hoppy IPA that finishes with a dark twist.

True to its IPA roots Dogzilla has a massive hop presence that is Piney and Citrusy. A malty backbone, along with the dark malt gives it a bit of a roasty finish. Brewed with Simcoe and Cascade Hops, Pale Malt, Munich, and Black Barley."

General Thoughts: This Black IPA has incredibly white head that stays with it for a while. It is spectacularly black (super dark brown). It has a light aroma for such hoppy brew. This is a very hoppy IPA. You still taste some of the malt though. The taste lingers like a bitter coffee.
