Camba Black Shark
Camba Bavaria's Black Shark is the rare Imperial Black IPA that doesn't apologise for either half of its identity. Jet-black, dense, 8.5% and 75 IBU — roasted malt and dark chocolate anchor a serious hoppy punch that's almost resinous, with barely a whisper of sweetness to soften the blow. Won gold at the World Beer Awards 2024. For hop lovers who aren't afraid of the dark.
