New to PBC. Pours the color of a porter, but with way more head. Malty, but with a good peppercorn bite. Just a hint of sour. I could conceivably confuse this for a black IPA, though. 7.3% ABV. Quite good.
"Amazing what a minute can do."

Yes, read the label closely...

"Brewer’s Description: “Don’t let the name scare you. This hybrid IPA’s bitterness blends with the subtle dark chocolate flavors provided by cocoa nibs and chocolate malts. It is then enhanced by bitter orange peel additions and a dry hopping of Citra”.
Never had a chocolate orange IPA .

Haven't been overly fond of strawberry beers over the years. Maybe a Florida resident can sample and report back.
