Stout aroma with a light Citra fruit aspect. Begins "Stouty" in bittering & body which is soft. While bittering will remain a constant through each sip, the offering begins to mellow into a Citra influence in taste as well. The blend continues from here for the rest of the offering.
Warner was preferred if you look for more fruited flavors notes.
A black IPA is an acquired taste unless you're a stout or WC craft fan but it may be time to expand horizons

Fruit aroma with no indicated bittering. This continues into a light crisp body & Medium carbonation. Cryo influences all aspects with citrus flavors which are dominant & remain so thereafter. Bittering is to be expected & shows up but is never an overwhelming contribution.

A light malt aroma & flavor retains a bit of the same. From there Citra orange contributions enter into the offering which softens things up in clean, crisp body. Medium carbonation as expected in this style.

Rotunda
Annville
Rotunda (PA) Vanilla Hazelnut Porter 6.8%
Minimal if any hops.
Porters rely more on malts and flavor additions for the outcome.
Stout like aroma & beginning. Aspects lighten into the porter realm in light carbonation. Additions were added in conditioning leaving any hops & malts to do the heavy lifting which is done well.
As you hold the sip flavors of chocolate, coffee, Vanilla & Hazelnut become enhanced.
Not overly bitter due to more mellow additions. A nice sipping offering.
