Alaskan’s black IPA showcases a delightful bouquet of citrusy, piney hop scents swirling with caramel; a dash of deeply roasted malts adds a touch of sharpness. Sweet caramel and sharp roasted malts ride down the center of the tongue while grassy hops float above. Dark chocolate underscores the swallow before aggressive bitterness dries out the tongue. This well-balanced black IPA finishes appropriately, with lingering roasted malts and grassy hops.
