Anything from Stone Brewing is going have a crazy amount of grapefruit and tropical notes, but with something as bold as a Black IPA, I really didn’t expect to still taste this. It’s an interesting blend or rich, chocolately malty-ness with fruity, herbal notes. I don’t love the finish, but I find myself taking big gulps and keep coming back to it, and tasting something new.
I wish there were more Black IPAs in general, it’s a very interesting style. Kinda like a Sour Patch Kid, they’re sour, sweet, gone.
