Notes

This is a beer that perhaps has a bit of a complex. Is it a Stout or a Black IPA, or something new, or something in between? Named for its dark colour and in homage to the varieties of hops used, this beer gives no quarter. Pushing the boundaries of acceptable bitterness from both Black Patent Malt and a hefty 90 IBUs and lifted with piney and resinous Northdown, citrusy Celcia and the peppermint and eucalyptus ‘Ice Candy’ tang of Polaris this brings a new level to the Stout and Black IPA conundrum…
