Brew Batch #53 Black IPA (aka nIPA)

Well it's official, this one pours a serious foamy head that's guaranteed to get better as time goes on (however long that may be;). But upon first glance it looks like an unassuming dark stoutish beer dressed in black, sweet roasted coffee perhaps with a touch of maltose? The nose starts to give it away though, a roasted grapefruit? Then an attack on the palate of Summit, Chinook, Centennial, Cascade, Centennial, and dry-hop Cascade, those slashes give way to slight coffee bitterness. So cloaked in deceiving black and cuts at the mouth and senses, ninja IPA's a keeper. *Note: use some straining on out-post to decrease particulate and rack before dry-hopping. Next time ninja, next time.. (bong)
