The beer in question is a curious, and rarely seen India Black Ale; all the bitterness of an IPA, and then some, along with it’s distinct colour and a good kick at 7% alcohol. As nano-breweries producing a relatively small batch of craft beer, they have opportunity to be more adventurous in their flavours than mass producers, or even micro-breweries. Their hops can be hoppier, and their porters are a reason to live in their own right. “It’s up there in bitterness: 77 IBUs, which is certainly staying true to my style of beer, and Pete’s as well. It just seemed to make sense to brew an IBA. I’m glad we did.”
