Mikerphone Brewing The Black IPA Parade

“Dark chocolate, floral rosehip differentiate this one. The malt comes through with a touch of sweetness and ends with hop bitterness. Bright and clean. Not punchy, but smooth, slick roastiness makes it easy to throw back.”

“Dark cherry and sweet candy apple under a dark caramel covering. Sweet milk chocolate is quickly balanced by woodsy hops. A tiny booze punch lurks among the dark fruits and subtle hop bitterness.”

**Aroma:** “A pronounced butterscotch aroma upfront with toffee and a slight roastiness. Sweet malt notes with light vanilla evokes roasted marshmallows.” **Flavor:** “Prominent hop bitterness balanced by malt sweetness and the requisite roast and toast. The butterscotch aroma carries through to the flavor and works well. The sweetness is quickly overtaken by aggressive hop bitterness that finishes with a lingering astringency.” **Overall:** “Has a slightly lighter body and could be described easily as a hoppy American porter, but this was like a campfire in a bottle with charred roasted marshmallows and toasted pine. ”
