A dark hop bomb combining the malt-forward indulgences of a stout with the insatiable hopload of an IPA. Rich spiced blackcurrant and caramel up front, with a sharp bitter finish following behind, bringing grapefruit and resin with it. Dry, bitter and intense; this is an IPA first and foremost, given a dark malt makeover. Originally brewed as a Simcoe only single hop IPA, we've experimented with adding a little Cascade and Mosaic for extra depth.
The goal here is to make a black beer that tastes like an IPA. Don't overload the black or roasted malts to try and achieve the correct colour. Too much roasted malts will suppress far too much of that beautiful citrus and tropical flavour from the Simcoe. It may be hard to get hold of Carafa, but it will allow you to get a great colour, without all of the characteristic roasty astringent flavours.
