Description:
Volume 10 in the Terrapin Side Project series of beers pays tribute to the most feared captain on the high seas…Capt’n Krunkles!
Made with all the hops that make an IPA a big bitter blaster, and all the color that makes a stout look like the La Brea Tar PIts, Capt’n Krunkles is my version of a black IPA!
I hope all your wildest dreams come true when your senses get thrown into a tailspin drinking this wacky black bitter. With over 2lbs of hops per barrel, this should make your taste buds stand up and tke notice. (Description provided by company)

Comments
This captain doesn't get krunk
Terrapin’s Capt’n Krunkles is a black IPA. It pours true to its name, dark and opaque, with a creamy coffee-colored head. It smells malty and hoppy. The flavor is a nice balance of same, with a bit more of a bitter aftertaste than expected. The mouthfeel is a touch watery, but not without some body. The idea of black IPAs are intriguing, but this one didn’t quite live up to my expectations. Even still, it’s a nice drink.
