Black Mass – Black IPA – 6.66%

Description

The original Black IPA, and by a long stretch our most decorated Award winning beer. Brewed using 6 different malts including chocolate malts, black malts and roasted barley. Generously hopped with a mix of Cascade, and Green Bullet. Flavours reminiscent of bitter chocolate, fruitcake and raisins, with beautiful aromas of dark chocolate, coffee and burnt toast.

Black Mass has previously been described as a bit of an enigma… a hop forward dark beer, too hoppy to be labelled a straightforward stout and without a category to define it when it was first brewed over 25 years ago. The term “Black IPA” simply wasn’t around when the beer was first made, on 6^th November 1996, and as a descriptor it didn’t really become part of the beery lexicon until circa 2008 – with its oxymoronic nature causing both consternation and fascination in the beer world ever since! More on this – and why we believe Black Mass could be the UK’s first Black IPA here.

Black Mass is also available in 9G Casks.
