They say:
Pitch Black IPA takes you to the dark side with our take on Cascadian dark ale. Debittered black malt lends a midnight hue along with rich, toasty malt flavor. Generous doses of alchemy and cascade hops provide a complex herbal aroma and subtle citrus note, balanced perfectly by a smooth Widmer Brothers finish. Embrace the dark side.
Black IPA, or Cascadian dark ale, is the latest fad on the craft beer scene. Not quite a hoppy porter, too dark for an IPA, it’s a new style and not without a little controversy.
But don’t beer people love to argue about beer styles?
It pours a deep brown with ruby highlights, but somehow not as “thick” as a porter or stout. Aroma is subtle, with some roastiness. Hop aroma is light. Medium body. Flavor has some more roastiness but is offset nicely by the hops. The flavor gets a bit richer as it warms.
I don’t know if I’d make this a regular selection, but I’d gladly have it again.
