Cosmic Eye Brewing - Arrow of Time Black IPA

It's beers like this which should convert those who "just don't like dark beer". "Dark" is not a flavor! See this old article about what the color of the beer means:

So, if you just closed your eyes and took a sip of Arrow of Time I guarantee that you would not notice that it poured a dark hue. Granted, the dark malts give it more of a chocolatey taste than a typical IPA, but only really noticeable if you're looking for it. The dominant notes are mainly citrus, with a little bit of piney hops. I'm catching some lemon zest, and maybe a hint of pineapple. None of these flavors are overwhelming - they all blend really well to deliver a unified whole rather than a free-for-all of competing flavors. The 60 IBUs give it an uppercut punch of hop bitterness. Good stuff!
