Dark Penance (2014)

IPA - Imperial / Double Black

A heavy malt foundation includes Crystal malt for sweetness and just enough Midnight Wheat malt to push the color to black. The bitterness is huge, but balanced by malt sweetness and alcohol burn. The hop flavors and aromas range from citrus to floral to pine thanks to a delicious blend of hand-selected Chinook and Centennial hops.

From RB. Sweetness, roasted malt, mild alcohol and hoppy bitterness in the aroma. The flavor is very strong and bitter hops, alcohol and some roasted malt. Very bitter indeed. Too strong to be enjoyable Black IPA.
