Black IPA·Netherlands·8% ABV·One of 60 Black IPAs in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Emelisse Black IPA's roasted and bitter character. Roasted aromas fill the nose, with fruity hints from the hops behind them. The palate pairs bitter and fruity tones with a light roasted note, and the finish ends on a firm bitterness. Simcoe, Cascade and Mosaic do the hopping, and dark malts turn a style that is naturally golden into a very dark IPA at 8.0%.
