This beer will positively surprise and play with your mind. It has the strong rich lemony and herbal aroma of an IPA yet the penetrating obscurity and smoothness of a black stout. At the vanguard of our selection, Mat Black is one of our most adventurous beers.

Special note to paradox fans: IBA is our own term for this beer style that is also known as black IPA, American IPA or even American black IPA!

Bottle conditioned. Black with a tan head providing decent froth.
Smells of treacle and roasted malt. Hops come through nicely but only after a while. Sour notes upset the odour.
Demi-sec. Flavour of blackened toast balanced with a strident hop bitterness to finish.
Low carbonation with a medium body.
Decent reflection of style but the English hops dominate the American variety.
