Brew Batch #53 Black IPA (aka nIPA)

Continuing my series of IPAs through the summer, I'm trying my hand at a black IPA (or ninja IPA). The malt bill was fairly interesting including chocolate and Breiss caramel 80 malts. But the 5 hop additions then a dry-hopping in about 2 weeks makes this one a guaranteed morning mouth rinse. OG 1.064+0.001 @71F and the swill seems to have a excellent balance of sweetness and chewy grapefruit.
