Countdown…. 3….2…1… LAUNCH! Blackstone Brewing Company has set forth on their latest endeavor, Dark Matter Black IPA.
American Black Ale
Often colored dark brown to pitch black, the American Black Ale is a bit of a hybrid beer. Combining the bold fruit and piney hop profile of an American IPA along with medium to dark roasted malt flavors similar to an American Porter, this beer's flavor can vary widely among different brewers.
A genuine American brewing concoction, this beer originated in either Vermont or the Pacific Northwest, and is an appealing style for all those who can appreciate the complex and assertive hop and roasted flavors.
Best served cool, around 46-51 degrees F, in a pint, stemmed tulip, or large wine glass.
