Black IPA

Had two of theses now, one by Moor Beer and the latest, proper Black by St Austells. Still not made up my mind if it's just a gimmick but I suppose at the end of the day anything new is good!
Controversial? A contradiction in terms? Certainly a subject for discussion; is there such a thing as a black India Pale Ale?

Whichever way you look at it, this beer is designed to challenge the sences.

Black as stout, close your eyes and taste and this beer is classic IPA. Powerful hops dominate the restrained chocolate and coffee notes from the carefully selected roasted malt. Whatever you thought you knew about beer, think again!
