Labyrinth Black Ale

Labyrinth hits hard right away—charred malt upfront, almost smoky in the best way, followed by a resinous pine hop bitterness that doesn't quit. There's real body here, almost creamy despite the blackness, and the 9% ABV adds this warm, slightly boozy finish that lingers. Feels substantial in your mouth, like drinking something that demands attention.

Mothman Black IPA

Mothman's leaner and meaner—the roasted character is there but more refined, almost chocolate-forward compared to Labyrinth's smoke. Same 60 IBU hits with sharp, grassy hop notes that feel crisper because there's less alcohol bulk behind them. Drinks faster, easier to session, but doesn't sacrifice bitterness or that dark malt complexity.
