Goose Island Coy Wolf Dark IPA

First of four beers in the "employee" 12-pack, it's billed as a "dark IPA", but more like a hoppier-than-usual pale ale that ain't so pale. Coywolf pours a toffee color with a three-finger tan head. They say that the hops are experimental, and they're different than anything that I tasted before. Not piney, not grapefruity, more like pumpernickel rye than anything else. There's also some mild toffee notes as well as some cocoa/hot chocolate and caramel. Oddly, there's also some lime. Very different. Flavor comes from the hops and not from added flavorings; IGB approved!
