It’s mysterious, not (yet) proven, though required to explain gravitational interdependencies in space – Dunkle Materie (“Dark Matter”). In our case, this refers to the mystic interdependencies between the malty roast flavours of a stout and the floral hop notes of an IPA.
A black IPA, also called Cascadian dark ale or American black ale, is a fairly young kind of beer that, similar to dark matter, often needs explaining. A deeply black beer, topped by a fine and creamy head, it looks just like a classic Stout. On your lips, however, there is an intensely hoppy aroma that is similar to an India Pale Ale. At first, intense roast flavours reminiscent of espresso and dark chocolate dominate. These are quickly joined by floral, citrus-like hop notes that towards the end come to prevail. Each and every sip brings new nuances. The Black IPA wants to be explored anew every time, just like dark matter – the Dunkle Materie.

Bottle at home from Beerlovers. Pours jet black with thick beige head. Nose is faint roasted and earthy notes and more prominent cocoa powder. Taste is bitter, showing the above notes, closing with medium, bitter and somewhat dry finish. Light bodied with soft carbo. It feels a bit tired (BB 12/18) and it lacks a pronounced hop character, in this state it reminds me more of a bitter stout than a BIPA.

Im Glas opak und tiefschwarz - mehr geht nicht. Die hellbraune, gemischtporige Schaumkrone hat einen fast cremigen Charakter und ist unglaublich langlebig. Die Nase wird von süßlichen, sehr röstigen Noten verführt. Noten von dunklem Karamell, dunkler Brotkruste, Kakao, Ovomaltine, Schokolade und sogar Kaffee machen sich breit, bleiben aber eher auf der süßen Seite. Der Antrunk kommt weichspritzig, leicht süßlich und sehr röstig. Am Gaumen setzen sich schöne Noten von dunkler Schokolade und Mokka fort. Ein süß-herbes Erlebnis mit leicht floralem Beigeschmack, welcher sich bis in den Nachtrunk fortsetzt. Trotz 65 IBU bleibt dieses Bier unglaublich harmonisch und die Hopfenherbe wird regelrecht von der kräftigen Malzaromatik, der dunklen Marterie, geschluckt. Mundgefühl und Süffigkeit sind ausgezeichnet und ein wahres Erlebnis. Der fruchtig-hopfige Nachtrunk gestaltet sich langlebig und richtig angenehm. Mein Fazit: Brew Age steht für tolle Biere. Vielleicht geht sogar noch mehr, aber dieses Bier darf man als "outstanding" bezeichnen.
