21st Amendment Back in Black
A pitch-black IPA that treats hops and roast malt as equals. Piney, citrus-forward American hops sit on a dark, chocolate-and-espresso backbone — the bitterness comes from both sides. Named for the AC/DC record, it drinks like a stout wearing an IPA's aggressiveness. Loud, uncompromising, effortlessly cool.
