Billed on BA as an American strong ale, I was under the impression that this was going to be a pale, though having seen the pour, I feel like I've seen "black IPA" associated with it as well. I've had black IPAs before, which is blasphemy, but this is not a black IPA. Strong ale is kind of a cop out really, since anything that's not distinctly in a style and weighs in at +8%ABV gets called a strong ale. This one is 8.7%ABV.
Mostly malty, kind of hard to find the hops. Nice, but generic dark taste. It's a good session beer in that "I'm going to get drunk"-session-beer kind of way.
