Black IPA 7 º 10 IBU

Letra

This Black IPA presents a sophisticated balance between deep roasted complexities and punchy American hop character. The aroma is led by vibrant citrus and tropical notes from Cascade and Citra, while the inclusion of Talus adds layers of stone fruit and resinous pine. On the palate, smooth coffee and dark chocolate malt flavors provide a sturdy foundation without veering into burnt or ashy territory. At 7% ABV, it maintains a lean and approachable structure, finishing with a firm, crisp bitterness and a lingering trail of grapefruit zest. It successfully bridges the gap between the refreshment of an IPA and the soulful depth of dark malts.

Appearance. Deep dark brown to nearly black in color (35-40 SRM); clear when held to light but appearing opaque in the glass. Topped with a persistent, medium-sized light tan head with fine lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring grapefruit, lime, and tropical mango from Citra and Cascade, complemented by the distinctive sage and stone fruit notes of Talus. Very low to moderate malt scents of toasted bread and fresh coffee grounds; clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward with citrus and resinous flavors. Malt character follows with restrained chocolate and cold-brew coffee notes that do not clash with the hops. Bitterness is medium-high to high but smooth. The finish is dry to slightly off-dry with a clean, lingering hop-and-roast aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. A light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, and there is no perceptible grain-derived astringency.
