I think this one leans more towards porter, but it isn't as rich and does have some IPA characteristics. The Cedar from the humidor adds an interesting touch. Its quite unlike any beer I've had, but enjoyable to me. My brother didn't care for it as much, but he's more of a devout IPA guy while I mix it up a bit more.
