Black IPA 5.5 º 70 IBU

Aerofab
Brasserie Torr Penn

Aerofab Harmattan presents as a nimble Specialty IPA, balancing the refreshing hop intensity of a classic IPA with the visual and structural depth of darker malts. The aroma is dominated by bright tropical fruit and resinous pine, subtly underpinned by whispers of toasted bread and light chocolate. On the palate, a crisp, medium-light body delivers a firm bitterness that remains smooth, avoiding any harsh, burnt, or ashy notes. This collaboration with Brasserie Torr Penn emphasizes drinkability, finishing remarkably dry with a clean fermentation profile and a lingering interplay between citrusy hops and a restrained, roasty malt backbone.

Appearance. Deep dark brown to near-opaque black (35 SRM); topped with a persistent, light tan, creamy head that leaves fine lacing; clear with no significant turbidity.

Aroma. High intensity hop character featuring notes of grapefruit, resin, and ripe stone fruit; supported by a very low malt presence of cocoa and lightly toasted bread; clean fermentation with no perceptible esters.

Taste. Initial punch of citrus and pine hop flavors followed by a supportive, restrained malt layer of dark chocolate and coffee; medium-high bitterness provides a crisp structure without being astringent; finish is very dry and clean with a light, lingering roast.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, velvety texture; moderate carbonation provides a refreshing prickle; alcohol is well-integrated with almost no perceived warmth.
