We got together with Stefan Gustavsson from Mohawk Brewery in Sweden to make this one. So what to brew with a metal-loving Swede who named his brewery after a punk hairstyle? It’s got to be a big, bad, hoppy black IPL like this one.

A black lager with the hop profile of an IPA – literally the hoppiest beer ever brewed at Camden Town Brewery – dry-hopped with a whopping 24 kilos of Columbus, Galaxy, Mosaic & Simcoe, the most we’ve ever packed into a beer, the hop bitterness complimented by the roast character of the darker malts that make this a Black IPL.

Available in keg and bottle.

Bottle from Camden Town brewery and drunk on the train home. Grapefruit hoppy aroma. It’s a schwarz with American hops. A black ipa lager. It’s ok but way too gimmicky for me. Good flavour and finish though. Camden make some very accomplished lagers.
