just tried this one,i think it was my first black ipa.i thought of the
Stormking as well and picked up on the pineapple,alot of other reviewers
say tropical fruits.I think Stone is a bit over rated but they seem solid.I
can picture a better black IPA,but it was very good. 89
Nice review guys! sick beer! Got this a few weeks ago here in jersey and
loved it. Love how it meshes the characteristics of an American ipa (hops
bitterness citrus) and a stout (creamy dark roasted malts).... keep em
coming.
@CBABitz that is true! I still think they're up & coming, though; after
being named 2006 Great American Beer Festival - Small Brewing Company of
the Year, they've been steadily increasing in size & popularity. I'm
excited to see what they can do with some more ca$h, cause they are already
fantastic. PS Just picked up the 'Red Rocket' for next week, have you tried
it?
This brewery has been around for a long time. They've been distributing to
the east coast for quite a while. "up and coming" I'm not sure that's true.
Their beers are great though. Cheers!
Had this for the first time about two years ago, traveling in NC. It
immediately became one of my favorites, but couldn't get in PA where I live
until a couple of months back. Great review, for me the highlight was right
after the first sip when you mention the maltiness. Strong malt for a 71IBU
DIPA. Thanks for the review!
@ummerrahh It's my go to DIPA. They've started selling them here recently
in the 12 oz 4- packs, which makes it not such a daunting challenge to
crack open a bottle. You can't go wrong with Boulevard beers, especially
the Smokestack series.
@StumpyJoeJr It definitely got darker & cloudier when I got to the bottom &
poured in the last of it. I like that all of their regular beers & most of
the Smokestack Series are bottle conditioned. A worthy IPA.
