I remember not being a big fan of their Escondian Imperial Black IPA. Hopefully, they've taken a different approach to the style with this one. The Sublimely Self-Righteous pours a solid black wit a little dark brown shining through on the edges. About a finger of light brown head with some big bubbles. Has that classic minty pine character in the aroma. Some sweet coffee and a splash of oak. Some spice and a bit of a rich chocolate.
Hits first with some chocolate and develops into this sharp, dry, intense coffee character. Tons of roast and a bit astringent. Very piney all the way though. Bitterness is heavy but mostly balances out the roast. Little earthy and woody. Pine lingers for a bit. Little oily. Medium body.
