Alaskan Black IPA

Alaskans spring seasonal features the hop-forward profile of an IPA with the dark black color and flavors of a fuller-bodied porter. A burst of fresh, citrus notes from Cascade and Centennial hops balance the hints of coffee and bitter chocolate with a subtle toasted sweetness and dark fruit highlights leading to a pleasantly dry finish.

Our Thoughts

Today we have "Alaskan Black IPA" which is a American-Style Black Ale that could be compared to a Strong IPA. Sitting at a ABV value of 6.4 your going to want to watch how many of these you consume in one sitting! This beer is meant for the drinker with a distinguished taste for bitterness.

American-Style Black Ale

American-style Black Ales are very dark to black and perceived to have medium high to high hop bitterness, flavor and aroma with medium-high alcohol content, balanced with a medium body. Fruity, floral and herbal character from hops of all origins may contribute character. The style is further characterized by a balanced and moderate degree of caramel malt and dark roasted malt flavor and aroma. High astringency and high degree of burnt roast malt character should be absent.
