Lindsey's best friend works at Abita, so of course we try every single beer they come out with. However, because we are such good friends doesn't mean I "love" Abita products. I have honestly only tried two Abita beers I really like and would buy again. Until now. This Black IPA is very good. I have had a few other black IPA's before and they didn't blow me away. Although I wouldn't say this one did either, what I will say is that it did stick out to me a little more than others have in the past. It was thick, flavorful and full-bodied. The only thing I would say is that the usual taste of an IPA is refreshing, but this beer isn't really that. I feel the thickness of the beer makes that so. The color is black with slight hints of dark redish brown running through them. More black taking over than anything else though. The smell is that of a stout over an IPA. I really did love how it was subtle. A strong smelling beer is always great, but sometimes it doesn't leave much to the imagination, I'm glad this one did.
