Smoked Black IPA

This black ale has a delicate smoky flavor that interplays with the pine character of American hops. The name references a safety slogan – a burned area, “in the black,” is often the safest place to be while fighting wildland fires.

From the bottle, it pours a clear brown with a light brown head that slowly dissipates and leaves lacing. In the nose: smoke. In the mouth, smoke and roasty malt. I like it!

I may take a bottle or two to Bamberg on my next visit there!
