Black Iris Brewery Drop the Anchor
Black IPA 6.5 º
Drop the Anchor is a striking Black IPA that masterfully balances the deep, shadowy presence of dark malts with the bright, tangy vibrancy of American hops. On the palate, the roast character is elegantly restrained, offering whispers of smooth chocolate and toasted bread rather than harsh, burnt notes. This provides a velvety canvas for the intense citrus kick and resinous pine to take center stage. The finish is decisively dry and hop-forward, characteristic of a classic American IPA, while the 6.5% ABV adds a subtle, well-integrated warmth that complements the beer’s smooth, medium-bodied texture and clean fermentation profile.
Appearance. Opaque black with deep mahogany highlights. Pours with a moderate-sized, persistent light tan head that exhibits good retention and leaves fine lacing on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent tangy citrus, grapefruit, and resinous pine. The malt presence is low to moderate, offering supportive notes of toasted grain and light chocolate without any acrid or burnt scents.
Taste. Leading with a medium-high hop bitterness, the flavor profile is dominated by citrusy American hops. A restrained dark malt character provides a smooth backdrop of cocoa and toast. It finishes dry and clean with a lingering citrus and light roasted aftertaste that avoids harshness.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, almost creamy texture. Moderate carbonation provides a crisp lift, while a light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is felt on the swallow. Minimal grain-derived astringency.
