didn't want to post this, but warm_beer wants me to...
3. WarmBeer Black IPA
you've done this to me before, so i can only tell it how i see it. I wasn't a fan
The roast was overpowering. The only hint of hops i got was a coating on the back of the throat, which usually I love, but it didn't meld with the roast. I also found the roast to be quite ashy.
Other than that, presentation was excellent. Head was rocky and held on tight the whole way. It was clean, fermentation wise, to my ability to detect clean.
I was going to say "swap the centennial for some ekg and drop the roast and it would be a corker"... but then it would probably be a porter or something
I thought anything with "IPA" in the name would be to my tastes, but the suffix "black" has disproved that. My palatte is far too sensitive to coffee flavours and aromas, and that's all I got from this. I couldn't find the hop aroma or flavour, as it was all drowned out.
Sorry.
