Uinta Dubhe Imperial Black IPA

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 9

Wonderfully thick and creamy head you could float a dime on. Dark dark brown body with lots of bubbles coating the glass like a cola. Good hop nose. Yes, thievish a very choppy brew, but there’s a nice sweet backbone going down. But that doesn’t last long as the aftertaste is again loaded with Left Coast hop varieties. Would really like to try this fresh on tap. But the bottle was nothing to sneeze at.

So douglas88 dropped this big fat Dubhe on me and said it is a wonderful beer. Whatever, right. Shit in a basket, he was right. This is pure yum. It pours deep rutty mahogany with tan head. The aroma has roasted malts, maltiness, spicy hops and resiny hop notes flowing effortlessly out of the glass. The taste is smooth and pretty much plain old creamy with malts and dark roasted malts rolling into full up spicy hop bitterness and some earthy hops in the background. This is smooth with some nearly dark roasted to burnt malts pulsating with pleasingly strong notes of hoppy goodness. This comes together perfectly and leaves me wanting another big fat Dubhe!

12oz bottle picked up at Uinta Brewery
Appearance: Black with a big frothy light tan head and lots of sticky lacing
Aroma: Grapefruit, pine resin and toasted malts
Taste: Smooth mouthfeel of pine resin, toasted malts, chocolate with sharp bitter bite in the finish (like biting into a bitter seed)
Very good. I was surprised that for as dark the beer is, I didn’t get a lot of roasted malts.

Small tan head with good retention and plaety of sticky lace left behind. Almost black in color ceptin for a pretty ruby edging. nose is fat with pine and citrus, lil resin and roast. Body is med/full, lil chewy, lil resiny and a bit oily, nicely coating. Well balanced flavors of hops and dark malts. Plenty of piney, citrusy goodness backed by nice roast and coffee notes, light chocolate and a lil earthiness, graininess. Finish is long, good bitterness and hoppy exit. One of the nicer BIPA,s i,ve had. Bottle from statelineliquors.

Bottle: Poured a deep black with thin light brown to tan head. Aroma is a mix of right malt and hops. Taste is strong hops up front that subside a bit to show the roasted malt and dark chocolate. Very lively and yet soothing at the same time.

12-ounce bottle at World of Beer, Key West. First Utah beer. Thick black pour, rocky beige head. Nice aromas of chocolate, coffee, and pine. Creamy mouthfeel. High ABV of 9.2% not obvious. Flavour much like the aroma, bitter finish. Not a style I care for but this was a worthy rendition.

Aroma is richly hoppy and grassy, with a smoky undertone and a hint of molasses - hard to beat that, at least in my mind that loves black IPAs (um, if you think about it, that’s an oxymoron) because I love dark beers and hoppy beers. It pours a luscious dark-chocolate brown that lets light in only at the edges and has a thick, fluffy, light tan head that likes to hang around. Flavor has a roast malt overtone with nutty, molasses, earthy and caramel notes plus hints of hops and licorice. Absolutely lip-smacking! Smooth, firm texture has plenty of fizz and life. I love black "pale" ales, and this is one of the best I’ve had.

Dark brown pour. Head shrinks but stays, leaves nice lacing. Black ipa makes my mouth water. Splendid beer that's a little more hops than roasted malts in smell and taste. Earthy flavour prominent, chocolate malt complimentary. Love it as I do most black ipa's

Bottle poured into glass gives a large coffee with cream colored head. the head is a bit rocky with good retention. Leaves heavy lacing. Beer is almost pure black, with hints of brown and red in the light.Smells of citrusy hops (mostly orange and grapefruit), some more earthy/floral hops, caramel, roasted malts, and chocolate.Taste starts with citrusy and floral hops along with roasty malts, the roasty malts quickly overpower the hops then comes a strong chocolate taste (more than smell) along with a bit of hemp seed in the finish. Has a crisp, but very roasted finish. Has a medium body with a bit of a buttery/creamy feel, low carbonation. Black IPA's arent my favorite, but this one is a very good beer.

A deep brown colored beer with a big sudsy textured, tan head rising above. There's decent hang time on the head. It settles eventually into a impressive ringlet-cap. Pine hops upfront in the nose. Some citrus added in the tasting. Some balance with roasted malt. Full bodied and slick on the tongue
