Bent Brewstillery Uber Lupin Schwarz India Pale Ale. 8.3%ABV. 83 IBU. Brewed and packaged by Bent Brewstillery, Roseville, MN.
Very dark, just about black, creamy, brown head above. Looking very nice.
In the nose: roasty/toasty, lightly hoppy. Pleasant-ish.
In the mouth: Big hops right out of the gate, big bitterness, pine and citrus, bumped up against the caramel and chocolate malt. I don't know if they work together in this case. Dark fruit meets dank hops. Chocolate caramel pine cones. Mmmm. Huh. Yeah, not sure about this one.
They say: American ingenuity. German excellence. The unification of new world beer style with old world ingredients. Rich cocoa and toasted bread crumbs. Pungent spicy, piney and floral hops. Smells so good you’ll want to drink it through your nose…however we do not recommend it.
