Stone Brewing – Sublimely Self-Righteous Black IPA

This enigmatic and intensely flavorful Black IPA (also known as a Cascadian Dark Ale) expertly blends the roasty character of dark malts with the assertive hop profile of an IPA. Expect a unique combination of dark chocolate and coffee notes intertwined with bright citrus and piney hop aromas and a satisfyingly bitter finish.

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: A compelling mix of piney and citrusy hops (grapefruit, resin) alongside roasted malt notes of dark chocolate and coffee.
• Flavor: A complex interplay of flavors; the bitterness of West Coast hops is prominent, complemented by dark malt flavors that offer notes of chocolate and espresso without being overly sweet.
• Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied with a smooth texture and a crisp, dry finish.
• Finish: Lingering hop bitterness intertwined with a subtle roasted malt dryness. A unique and memorable finish.
