Commercial Description:
This is an Imperial IPA with a twist. It’s actually quite black in color. Unlike your normal super big IPA, we did a little something (no artificial ingredients of course) to create a super dark Imperial Black Ale. We swear, in a blind tasting there’s no way you’d guess this beer was as dark as night. Of course, all the normals apply- it’s super hoppy and supper big. Check it our for yourself. Just don’t expect the expected.

9% ABV. 100+ IBUs.

Tap @ their NW location... Poured deep, deep brown (not quite black) with an off-white head. Aroma of hops and barley grains. Very dry palate with a low to medium carbonation. I found that there was a strong flavor up front but ended up sort of flavorless towards the end. Anyway, maybe it’s the darker ale aesthetic, but it came off with a roasted, cocoa malt sweetness. It had a smoked, hop bitterness. The finish was acidic (probable from the alcohol) and hoppy.

Tap at Belmont Station, PDX for IPA week. Brownish black with a small tan head. A bit roasty on the nose with moderate hop dimension. Toasted malt, mixed nuts, then a sort of mellow bitter almost metallic finish. Interesting and pretty good.

Draught. Poured Black with thick white head. Floral hoppy aroma with eucalyptus and pine. Hoppy flavour, with citrus and eucalyptus notes. lasting full mouth. Full pleasing finish. Alcohol seemed subdued, didn’t taste like 9%
