Black IPA is a india pale ale but with a dark colour, we have choosen to take a unusual and more difficult (but better if you ask us) method to achieve this. We mash our Paradoxale as we would a normal IPA but when we reach the point of mash out, we add the roasted malt wich gives the brew its dark colour. The method gives us the colour and nutty tones of roasted malt but the short contact time doesn’t allow the roasted malt to realase it`s bitter astringent compounds, we want the bitterness to be from hops not malt.

33cl bottle @ Viking Line Gabriella. Batch nr 1. Poured almost black in color with a thin brown head. Licorice, chocolate, roasted malt, mild ash. Pretty dry finish. Roasty, malty, chocolate and mild wood in flavor, some ashy notes. Tasty.

(Bottle, 0.33 l - batch 1 - bottled on 2017-01-29, at Indigo, Mariehamn, 20170508) The beer poured clear and nearly black. Its head was medium sized and lightly brown. Aroma had fruitiness, liquorice and burnt malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, burnt malts, liquorice, sweetness, ash and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy, burnt and bitter. A nice hoppy and burnt brew with bit too ashy finish.
