With the colour of rich Porter but the punch of hops associated with IPA, our Black IPA is true deception in a glass. Three dry hop additions give this beer a scintillating aroma of pine and tropical fruit, while hints of toasted malt mix with big layers of US hop character from the addition of Simcoe and Mosaic varieties.

Keg at Craft Clerko. It pours opaque near black with a medium tan head. The nose is rich roast, parma violets, orange peel, coffee and cocoa. The taste is bitter-sweet, citrus peel, parma violets/potpourri, roasted, malt, earthy, coffee, light soap and orange with a dry, roasty finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Good depth. Rather tasty stuff.

Keg. Leeds IBF. Lost my notes on this, which is a bugger, as Iām the first to rate it. However, I recall it being murky, dark brown. Bubbly, lasting, tan head. Lots of nutty, chocolatey maltiness, offset by piny, grapefruit bitterness. Taste was roast bitter. Smooth palate. Nutty, bitter finish. Good.
