isnt that the definition of a black ipa???


Most version use debittered black malt or something similar to get the color without the flavor. That's typically what's thought of as a black IPA, or cascadian dark ale, or whatever you want to call it. Roasted/coffee/chocolate flavors typical of stouts and porters are usually muted. As the style has evolved you have seen some more porterish/stoutish varieties popping up.


I've always gotten roasted notes from black IPAs like Stone SSR or Wookey Jack.

I'm not sure why anyone would be surprised for an IPA to taste like a hoppy stout or porter.

Me saying a hoppy stout wasn't a knock on the beer. I found Hoptagon more roasty and malty compared to SSR or Wookey which is more hop forward. Not a knock on either beer, black IPA's are my favorite style. Love them all.
