1st Anniversary Ale is the shadow Figueroa Mountain casts over trails like Davy Brown and Hurricane Deck. Big-bodied, ominously obsidian and heavily hopped, this American-style black ale or "black IPA" is one massive brew. To truly "Push the limit" we filled our mash tun to the brim with barley malts and dosed the kettle with 20bls of Chinook hops. Then we dry-hopped another 20lbs of Columbus, Centennial and Crystal. Tasting Notes The aroma is full of wildflowers, pine needles, tinder and wet earth overtop chocolate and blackstrap molasses. Dark caramel, cocoa, espresso and tobacco flavors give way to woodsy, herbal hop notes and a gentle, lingering bitterness.
