Brewed in collaboration with Van Moll Craft Beer.
Defying all logic, this imperial mutant IPA/Stout was created by divine intervention. Seriously. During a Taptakover one night with the little rascals at Van Moll, a certain beer beatnik got the bright idea to mix our Dr. Raptor Imperial IPA with their Ons Blacky Imperial Stout and... Sweet Jesus! They say imperial powers aren’t made overnight, but that’s B.S. This Doctor Manhattan gamma bomb proves otherwise. True story, my friends. True story.
There must be some people that wonder, Black & Tan? Never heard of that beer style. If you haven't, You will find it out now! The Black & Tan beer style derives its name from the blending of two beers of different colors. First of all, a pale ale to represent the "Tan". Topped off with a dark beer to get the "Black". Usually these dark beers are stouts, and in our case it's Van Moll's Imperial stout; Ons Blacky.
The combination of our Imperial IPA and Imperial stout makes one of the finest Black & Tans you will ever see. Best of both worlds as we call it. The ABV percentage of 9.5% dubbed this beer as a "take it slow" kinda beer (although that's entirely up to you, we won't tell).

Pours an almost clear, deep brown coloration with a medium, creamy head. Smells of roasted, caramel malt, chocolate, citrus and pine. Taste follows the nose, with a great balance between roasted, caramel malt and resinous, citrus hops, with notes of chocolate, grapefruit, pine and hints of tobacco. Finishes with a medium bitterness and some roasted malt, chocolate, citrus and pine lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.
This is quite a fascinating brew that has really inspired me to try and blend my own Black IPAs because it just works so well here. It's basically a blend beween the signature WCDIPA and Imperial Stout of Het Uiltje and Van Moll and really makes for a great Black IPA with its roasted, caramel malts and resinous, citrus hops.
