Though an obvious oxymoron, this black IPA is a tightrope-walk greater than the sum of it's parts.
Judicious application of dark malt provides an alluring black appearance with contradictingly-subtle coffee, cacao and caramel.
Hops bestow deep resinous pine and a charged bitterness to a background of candied apple and ripe stone fruit courtesy of a co-pitch of flavourful American and British ale yeasts.
Pairs well with gamey meats or the humble grilled cheese
Pairs best with neon-on-black carpet and a roll of the dice
