Alphabet / H2ÖL Bounty Hunter
This Specialty IPA presents a sophisticated interplay between shadowy roasted depths and vibrant tropical highlights. Aromas of toasted malt, rich cocoa, and sweet coconut lead into a palate where El Dorado and Ekuanot hops provide a lush counterpoint of pineapple, stone fruit, and citrus. Despite its dark hue, the roast remains restrained and smooth, avoiding acridity. The addition of coconut enhances the silky mouthfeel, while a firm bitterness ensures a classic IPA finish. It is a complex, medium-bodied ale that balances the decadence of a confectionary treat with the aggressive, resinous hop profile of a modern Black IPA.
Appearance. Opaque black color (approx. 38 SRM). Topped with a dense, persistent light tan head that leaves significant lacing on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity; dominant notes of toasted coconut and dark cocoa powder over a background of tropical fruit. Hop character features distinct pineapple and citrus zest. Very low esters and no harsh acridity.
Taste. Initial impression of smooth chocolate and toasted coconut. Mid-palate transition to vibrant tropical hop flavors including melon and stone fruit from El Dorado and Ekuanot. Firm, high bitterness provides a clean counterpoint to the malty depth. Finish is dry and lingering with a touch of resin and light roast.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a notable silken, creamy texture. Moderate carbonation. Noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth that complements the cocoa notes.
