Had this beer at a restaurant last night and it was a ripper. Am hoping someone knows of it. Was described on the bottle as a black IPA. Would like to try to do something similar for winter as a partial but not being familiar with the style am unsure where to begin. Would it be as simple as a standard IPA with some roasted grain? Or am I looking at something a bit like a porter? Description from their website suggests something between a black ale and a stout.

BLACK ALE
The Pony says ‘This pony is dark and can’t be seen at night’
Tasting Notes
(6% Alc.), 3 times hopped
This dark ale is between an ‘American Black Ale’ and ‘American Stout’ according to British Ale Style Guide. Designed with reduced burned roast astringency and low on dry roast bitterness finishing normally found in stouts, this Black Ale has been crafted with a balanced towards rich roasted malty flavours, coffee, chocolate, liquorice and molasses. Late, lingering with moderate bitterness to balance the initial sweetness.
A big body yet light and easy to drink. Ideally matched with slow cooked meat dishes like shanks, beef cheeks, stews and bakes, this ale is also a favourite with desserts.
Moderate bitterness 35 IBU
