Schwarzwälder is as scrumptious as German Black Forest cake in a glass, offering up dominant flavours of sweet cherries and earthy cocoa. This strong Black IPA was brewed with German dark malts and an addition of dried sweet cherries. Schwarzwälder is black, unfiltered, and a perfect bittersweet blend as the cherry fruitiness mingles with the hops and roasted malt flavours. History & Style: For Vankleek Hill Oktoberfest 2014 the Beau’s brewers split up into teams, charged with creating the best recipe for this year’s fest. Team “Moustaches and Lightning Bolts” (Kevin James, Brian O’Donnell, Hugh Jay) decided to stage a German takeover of a Black IPA, a relatively new beer style that originated on the West Coast of the US. “Schwarzwäld” is German for Black Forest, and is of course a tip of the hat to one of the most famous German desserts! Tasting Notes: A bright cherry aroma is complemented by roasted malt notes, which are followed by spicy, herbal hops that are slightly minty. Dry-hopped with some Simcoe for a hint of pine. Flavours of cherries and earthy cocoa dominate. The finish is dry with a pleasant lingering bitterness. Food Pairings: Country-style ham with a sweet/sour cherry glaze, cherry cheesecake with chocolate shavings Technical Specs * Alc./Vol.: 7.0% * Ingredients: Local spring water, organic barley malts, organic cherries, organic hops, organic cherry tree bark * Malts:Vienna, Caraaroma, Acidulated, Chocolate (all organic) * Hops: Hallertau Tradition, Spalt Select, Perle,Hersbrucker, Pacific Gem, Simcoe (all organic) * IBU's: 50 * OG: 15.2°P * FG: 2.6°P * Ideal Serving Temp.: 4-6°C

On tap at Arrow and Loon as Black forest IPA. Pours a good size frothy off-white head that dissipates to a thin coating. Has a very dark amber appearance with reddish highlights. Aromas of chocolate, roasted malt. Flavours are mainly roasted malts, barley, nice chocolate notes, fairly sweet. Smooth and slightly creamy mouthfeel. Not too bad.

Enjoyed at the Loon, under the name "Black Forest IPA". Pours a hazy deep ruby-brown colour with a beige head and nice creamy lacing. Aromas of burnt wood, dark fruits, chocolate malts and molasses. A lot of the same for the taste with the cherries now showing a bit. Decent dryness in the finish and bitterness lingers. Pretty interesting brew, but the nose seems a little unbalanced. Not one I would have again.
