Double Black India Pale Ale
Goodnight Bodacious is a big beer. Big on bitterness. Huge on hops. Doubly dark. It is a Double Black IPA that is unabashedly strong in flavors, hitting you hard with black barley and roasted coffee, complemented by dark juicy fruit and green earthy hops. Sip after sip will surprise you, as the boozy qualities of this brew will become more prominent when it warms up. Embrace the absolute darkness.

Pours black with a big, slowly fading tan head. It smells of dark roast malt, piney hops, and coffee. The flavor is intense with bitterness from the heavy hops and the dark roast character. There’s pine and coffee, a full body, and lingering roast and hops in the finish. Excellent.

Bottle from Livonia Liquor. Pours a deep brown to black with a huge tan head that lingers. Roasted malt, dark chocolate and baked molasses on the nose. As it warms more dark roasted malt, coffee, dark chocolate and herbal hop notes. A bit of grapefruit pith and more dark malt on the finish.

Chocolate malt, pine, and grapefruit peel aroma. Black with nice brown head. Moderately sweet chocolate caramel malt and moderately bitter grapefruit peel/pine flavor. Good body and great balance. A nice drinkable Black DIPA.

Bottle. Pours dark like midnight with a beige head and aromas of chocolate and topsoil. Flavor is very nice... a huge punch of cocoa powder right off the bat and then a transition to ABV heat and tingly hops... kind of resiny, I guess. Very nicely put together and balanced.

12 ounce bottle from Elmer’s Escanaba. Figured this was a good nightcap! Dark brown, red highlights, large frothy brown head, good retention. Aroma of chocolate and pine. The taste is grapefruit, chocolate, roasted malt. Medium bodied, bright. Nice.

Rich deep dark brown coloured body with an almost fully opaque black glow along with some lighter brown when held at an angle, all with a nice, and easy-going three centimetre tall rich brown head on top. About 90% opaque and very nice! Full-bodied; Very rich hoppy flavour at first with a dose of resin, pine and herbs at first with a huge malt backbone, bunches of roast and a dose of caramelised sugars that makes this very complex throughout. Aftertaste is almost all roasted malt, with some lactose, alcohol, vanilla, cream, bright grassy and resinous hops and a dose of resin on the end - very nice and incredibly potent. Overall, seemingly more alcohol than 9,00% and definitely not a ’Black IPA’, this should be categorised as a Baltic Porter, as if you had this in a blind test, you’d say its more of Okocim Porter (with extra hops) than most ’average’ Black IPAs. That said, it’s a great beer, that I’m happy to drink [relatively] fresh and get from my home state. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Grape Vine in Sterling Heights, Michigan on 09-December-2016 for US$2,99 sampled at home in Washington on 11-May-2017.
