Black IPA 5.9 º

Redwillow Brewery

RedWillow Brewery Soulless is a masterfully balanced Black IPA that navigates the intersection of dark malt depth and vibrant hop intensity. Pouring nearly opaque with a dense tan head, it offers an inviting aroma of roasted caramel paired with high-intensity fruity hop notes. The palate delivers a clean roasted malt profile, highlighting restrained chocolate and coffee without the ashy or burnt character often found in stouts. A firm bitterness persists through to a dry, crisp finish, where the lingering fruity hoppiness provides a refreshing counterpoint to the dark grain. At 5.9% ABV, it maintains excellent drinkability with a smooth, medium-bodied mouthfeel.

Appearance. Deep black and nearly opaque (38 SRM) with a thick, persistent tan head that leaves consistent lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring pronounced tropical fruit and citrus esters. Supporting the hops is a moderate aroma of roasted caramel and light toast, with faint hints of dark chocolate and a clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward with fruity flavors that transition into a medium-low roasted malt character. Notes of cold-brew coffee and dark chocolate are present but restrained, avoiding any burnt or ashy harshness. The bitterness is medium-high to high, leading to a dry, crisp finish with a lingering fruity and slightly roasty aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate, providing a crisp bite that enhances the dry finish. Alcohol warmth is very light and well-integrated.
