http://bluehillsbrewery.com/beers_blackhops.php This black hybrid ale is a style of its own creation. Truly original, we base the grain bill after the infamous German Schwarzbier, a drinkable beer with a depth of dark color. This is accomplished using hops to bitter the beer rather than roasted malts common in styles like stout or porter. For our masterpiece, we use our house ale yeast to produce a fuller flavor than the lager versions found in Germany. Once fermented we “lager” or cold store the ale, which tones down the aroma produced in top fermentation. What’s left is the satisfying aroma of chocolate malt and citrus, followed by a malty, hoppy, and slightly dry taste. Our Blackhops delights the ale or lager customer alike.

Pours a dark chocolate brown that lets a little daylight through only at the bottom. Tan head is fine-bubbled and rather persistent, and leaves generous lacing. Aroma has the best of a good IPA and a good stout: hoppy evergreen overtone supported by notes of roast malt, molasses and a dab of chocolate. Flavor has a strong note of greenwood hops, a little bitterness, plus roast malt and semi-sweet chocolate. Thick texture has a firm and persistent fizz. A great Black Hops mission.
