Horsforth Brewery Darkest Before the Dawn
Black IPA 5.7 º
This Black IPA showcases a striking contrast between deep, shadowy malts and the vibrant, resinous snap of fresh green hops. Pouring nearly opaque with a persistent tan head, it offers a sophisticated balance of light chocolate and toasted bread notes from debittered roast malts. The green hop addition drives an intense, grassy, and floral aroma that cuts through the dark base without introducing harsh ashiness. Expect a crisp, dry finish where firm bitterness meets a hint of forest floor and citrus zest, delivering the punch of a Specialty IPA with the refreshing, harvest-driven character of unkilned hops.
Appearance. Dark brown to nearly black (35–40 SRM) with a creamy, long-lasting tan head that leaves consistent lacing; clear at the edges but largely opaque.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring pine, resin, and a distinct grassy freshness characteristic of green hops, backed by subtle notes of dark chocolate and toasted malt; clean fermentation profile with very low esters.
Taste. Initial hop-forward punch of citrus and damp earth; the malt provides a supportive, smooth backdrop of cocoa and light toffee without burnt or acrid flavors. Bitterness is firm and clean, leading to a dry, lingering finish with a touch of resinous hop oil and a whisper of roasted grain.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate carbonation; smooth texture with a very light alcoholic warmth and no astringency despite the dark malt presence.
