Pure Milwaukee Genius Series 4: Black IPA - We took all the stuff people love about IPA’s and gave this beer plenty of crystal and dark roasted malts. This dark coffee-colored beer pours a rocky, light tan head that leaves plenty of lacing on the glass. the hoppy pine and floral aromas ready your palate for an immediate bitterness. Instead, the sweet, caramely crystal malts blitz through, followed immediately by a sharp piney flavor from the Zeus and Cascade hops. The smooth body leaves a long lasting hoppy finish.

Bomber pours dark brown to dark mahogany with semi loose two minute mocha head. The aroma offers up some dark roasted malts, moderately roasted coffee beans, some pine hops and some earthiness that lack a bit of depth and richness that seems typical of the style. The taste is similar with dark roasted malts and modest coffee notes mixing with a blend of spicy hops, floral hops and a slight pine like resiny hoppiness. Pretty moderately bold black IPA that isn’t as rich and chewy as others but will work well when something a little cleaner and slightly lighter is needed.

Bottle. Strong pine and mild caramel malt aroma. Dark black-brown color with large tan head. Slightly sweet caramel malt and rather subdued pine hops bitter flavor. Like this one - hops don’t come out as much in the flavor as the aroma.

Location: 22 oz bottle from Buy Rite, 11/27/11
Aroma: The nose has notes of roasted malts, toast, pine, and a little bit of resin
Appearance: It pours a black-brown color with a thick brown head and lots of lace
Flavor: The taste is roasted malty sweetness up-front, with a piney hop bitterness later on
Palate: It is medium bodied, but a touch watery, and it feels fairly smooth, with soft-to-average carbonation
Overall Impression: This was a solid Black IPA. I thought it was reasonably balanced between the roasted malts and the piney hops. To me, this one works pretty well.

Bottle @ home. Black appearance with a big, carbonated, brown head. Piney, bushy hoppy, lightly bitter, roasty dark malty aroma. Mild roasty, slightly burnt malty, piney, a little bitter, mild grapefruit, hoppy flavor with more resin and piney finish. Overall a pretty solid Black IPA.

Pour is a black with a large tan head. Aroma is a nice pine hop followed by a equally nice rosted malt. Flavor is almost all roasted malt then a few hoppy notes come out the play after the swallow. Leaves a nice bakers chocolate on the tounge. Decent enough.

Bottle. Dark brown beer with a big light brown head. Pine and grapefruit aroma. Grapefruit and pine flavor with light chocolate and light roast. Medium bodied. OK bitterness. Cocoa and grapefruit lingers with pine and light malt.
