Our Black IPA combines the roasted malt flavors of porters and stouts with the bright hoppiness of the American IPA. The brew is dry hopped for additional flavor and aroma, without adding unnecessary bitterness.

According to brewer legend, Black IPA’s were first brewed in Vermont in the mid-1990’s. Like many modern American beer styles, this beer combines the traditions of classic European brews with the newer tradition of the American hop profile. The Brewers Association legitimized the style in 2010, when it was added to the Great American Beer Festival guidelines for the first time.

12oz, "bottled with love on 01/19/2017"
A - near black with a thick creamy tan head that leaves heavy lacing down the entire glass
S - juicy citric hops with roasted barley
T - juicy hops: mango & orange; chocolate, roast, sweeter pineapple on the back end
M - creamy & smooth, yet a bit resinous, finishes bittersweet with mango and pineapple riding out the roastiness
O - very delicious! I will have to get more if I see it. Very recommendable and a must-try in my opinion.

Nice smooth hop profile. I like the almost creamy texture that works real well here with the bitterness of the hops. It toes the line perfectly as a hoppy stout.

Light black in color and not penetrable to light. There's a solid, frothy, 2 inch creamy brown head on top. I smell piney hops and dark malt. I'm tasting a nice blend of dark malt and resinous, piney hops. The mouth is dry and lightly sticky.
