No chance of a copyright strike from that rendition, gents.

That intro had me in bits. Glad to see you boys really enjoying yourself as mates, oh and you happen to do a show too 😌

Forest fire is one of the best descriptions of how a beer can smell. Thanks Brad :D It always amazes me how some people can make the spot on metafors of how beer/vine etc smell and taste.

Oooo, thanks guys! My absolute favorite style of beer! I hope you're right that it's coming back in because I haven't had one in years.

This is possibly the most hipster look Brad has had since lockdown.

That Kernel Export Porter really reminded me of the best black IPAs I had years ago. It's really good.

One of my favorite beers ever was a black IPA from Firestone Walker: Wookey Jack. Very complex, dark coffee, roasted malt, significantly (but not overwhelmingly) bitter.

I brewed a black ipa with chinook and citra and it's one of the best beers I've ever made. Planning another one soon.

I can't tell if Brad is describing a Black IPA or me. Bitter, burnt and toasty with a little darkness and some coffee in there.

Good to see more black ipa's love the style.

I’ve had the Siren and Signature and really enjoyed them - best of both worlds good malty aftertaste

The best beer style ever. I'd drink it every day if they made more different ones. Dark Sister by Brussels Beer Project is a fine example imo.

Missing the best black IPA out there! Kinnegar Black Bucket. simply fantastic beer!

One of my local brewers has a black IPA going year round, slight malt and coffee notes, but still strongly an IPA with loaw carbonation and really velvety mouthfeel

Black IPA has always been my favorite style bu definitely saw the disappearance of the last 3 years. Just picked up the last two 6 packs of Stone Sublimely Righteous from my local grocery store bc I was so excited to see it back! But my first memory of a Black IPA was Firestone Walkers Wooky Jack which is still my favorite of all beers to drink! Great roasty pine flavors throughout! Thanks for the great watch Guys! BIPA to the Moon!

Love a good black IPA. Should be piney, grapefruit citrus, with a roasted note. Used to be probably 5-10 local breweries that made them maybe 3-5 yrs ago, now down to 1 that does one year round as a core beer, and 1 that does one as a seasonal. There was one from a brewery a province over that we used to get here, that was the best, but no longer brews it. Thankfully they have shared the recipe so us home brewers can try it on our own. Black Banks Cascadian Ale 5Gal/19l 6.3%, 54IBU, SRM 27 81.6% 2 Row 6.1% Carafa Special III 6.1% Crystal 40 6.1% Vienna 14.25 grams of Simcoe @60 (0.5oz for the metrically impared) 28.5 grams of Simcoe @10 28.5 grams of Amarillo @0 42.75grams of Simcoe dry hop 3 days 42.75grams of Amarillo dry hop 3 days Water profile like you would a west coast IPA If you want a little more smoke to it, add a handful of smoked malt, or to add a bit of sweetness and smoke, a handful of Cherry Smoked malt. More coffee character, just add some coffee to the end of the boil

Had a lovely Black IPA last night on the Beer Fridge Podcast. A collab from new brewery Trinity and Green Duck. Definitely give it a try. Keep up the good work

♥️BIPA. Was lucky enough to try Society & Solitude #2 and El Jefe back to back for my first experience and I've been a fan of the style ever since. Enjoying a TRVE Black Cascade right now!

Enjoying a “Dante fiero” an Italian style lager from my local brewery, the brickyard brewing company, here in Lewiston New York. Enjoying the latest craft beer channel episode

I absolutely love BIPA. Blacks of Kinsale brewery here in Ireland have one in their core range and whenever I see it I buy. I'm that guy that would happily drink a BIPA everyday

That Kernal is one of my favourite beers ever.

First ever was Wookey Jack in a bar in Washington. The rye and higher abv defo works in its favour.

Ah, my boys! You finally did it! My favorite beer on the planet!

Eight Arch Layer Cake is a fantastic Black IPA

One stand out BIPA for me recently has been Carnival and Fuerst Wiacek's Together Tomorrow Forever. It's a properly piney west coast BIPA!

This was a good one! We reviewed a Dark Horse Brewery "reserved Black Ale" and decided it was actually a BIPA

Hi! Just found your channel and I'm loving it! I got to be a patriot and ask if you could try beers from Swedish breweries? I can recommend some of my favorites: Stigberget Brewery, Apex Brewing Company, Fermenterarnas, O/O Brewing and Duckpond Brewing. Most of them are located in Gothenburg. Cheers!

I love black ipa. Always wanted to find a good beer to use Vic Secret hops on, this style it does well.

For me the first Black IPA that deserved its name and wasn't either predominantly malty or predominantly hoppy is Black Malts & Body Salts 2.0 by To Øl out of To Øl City. How you can have such a mix of different tastes within a single sip I have only experienced before in barrel aged stouts/porters, while sour beers / IPAs are usually more straightforward and unidimensional (which isn't bad necessarily).

Great video, great style. I can highly recommend the Jopen Maria Magdalena series of Black IPA's from Haarlem in the Netherlands. Each featured a prominent hop combination... latest was Citra/Mosaic. And from the South-west, St Austell Proper Black IPA is also very solid. #BlackIPAsMatter

I cant believe I just made a Black IPA that turned out great, so happy with this.

I agree - to me a Black IPA is a West Coast with a hint of the characteristics of darker malts. A brewery in Cleveland, OH called The Brew Kettle has been making their White Rajah west coast IPA for a long time and then started making a black version called Black Rajah. Alll the same hops - to me it is one of the perfect examples of the style.

Had Neon Raptor X Black Iris - Rattlesnake Chalice recently and it absolutely nailed the style. Well worth checking out!

I tried my 1st Black IPA when I started my craft beer journey back in 2015 I think. Anyway, I tried "Firestorm" by Big Storm Brewing in Odessa, FL and I loved it! If I'm out at a craft brewery I'll get one if there is one on the menu, but for some reason I won't buy it when I see it in the stores in cans or bottles.

You're reading my mind with these videos! Just brewed a black IPA last month. Had midnight wheat in the malt bill with magnum, centennial, citra and chinook hops. Turns out perfect every year. Pine and grapefruit fighting for attention on the nose. They're there with a pinch of roast on the back half of the taste. Nice medium to full mouth feel. Cheers!

such a tricky style, I have tried many but so few have hit the spot of combining my love for IPA and PORTER/STOUT. I think the best one I have ever had is "Hophorn" from HORNBEER brewery in denmark. it is 9,3% so more an I(mperial)BIPA but pretty damn good.

I'm quite a fan of Black IPA. In Sweden I think Lilla Edets Craftwerk 3.0 is a good candidate.

Completely agree with your definition. Had a few Black IPAs that are just "painted black" at homebrew competitions. **** the BJCP🖕😅

Not my favourite style of beer but the kernel export India is one of my favourite beers. Kernel can't really do much wrong in all honesty! I would love for you guys to do some work with them at some point. A great brewery who have definately stayed grounded and know how to please the people.

This is my favourite style. Great video guys

I think that Ruse Brewing out of Portland, OR has a black IPA that may fit the profile you are speaking about. it's called Dark Beyond the Stars. I enjoyed it for the same reasons why you had mentioned. There may be some cans flowing around. I recommend checking that out. /shrug

Possibly the best BIPA I've had, is Beerbibliotek's Crossing the Streams in the Dark (#297).. thus recommended! :)

Enlightening episode guys. Speaking of Mitch Steele, he is right here in Atlanta where he co-founded New Realm Brewing Co. where they are pumping out some outstanding IPAs. When you guys start traveling again, come check out the craft beer scene in Atlanta and visit New Realm!

I love Black IPAs - didn't know they were out. I do a five gallon, extract recipe, black IPA that turns out great.

Cool video. I have never really got black ipa. Have tried a bunch of them and only found one that I liked. For me, it takes 2 styles of beer that I love separately and fails to marry them in a way that I find pleasing. Give me an American stout or cascadian dark ale for hoppy dark, or straight ipa, wcipa or neipa for hoppy.

Black IPA is my any day go to. Long Live BIPA! Cheers Gents!

Sounds tasty, I'll have to try one! Maybe a cool video idea would be to discuss/battle of the Belgian strong ales? Beers like Kwak, Duvel, Delerium etc. It would be interesting to see what the non-trappist belgian beer has to offer.

I just cracked open a black IPA and sat down to eat, just to find this video about black IPA.... coincidence? I think not.

I've rarely had a black IPA that I've liked though I still like trying them.

Really surprised about the mention of the "sorachi coconut" thing. I've always thought of it as being all lemon-citrus. Haven't used it much, but if it also gives coconut, then perhaps I should give it another go!

Don't really care what it's called but The Kernel Export India Porter really nailed it for me recently, The Siren/Elusive Zombies was pretty neat as well.

I thought it was Sabro that was the new "coconutty" hop. I think Talus is more grapefruit/citrusy? I may be wrong. Anyway, great video as always fellas.

Fun Fact. Greg Noonan, from Burlington, Vermont was the creator of this style of beer. I've been to his brewpub "The Vermont Pub & Brew" on College St. and had the original black IPA. Skal!

Just brewed with talus hops, i did not get any coconut aroma as more of pink grapefruit and the pith of grapefruit. Will have to revisit my beer again. Cheers!

Friends of mine own a micro brew here in Iowa do one and I really like. But one friend who loves stouts says it isn't black enough and another who likes IPAs says it isn't hoppy enough. I love stouts and don't care for IPAs that seem to be a contest of how much hops can you put in a glass at the sacrifice of flavor. Oh look what I just found in my fridge..🍺 (need dark beer emoji)

You gotta try the @trinitybrewco hazy Black IPA. It's outstanding!! They were on the BeerFridgePodcast this week!!

Think Eclipse (one of the newer hops from down under) would go really well in a BIPA - mandarin, citrus peel, and pine. I have now tried it in a few styles, and it definitely seemed to suit darker styles well.

There’s a lot of beers out there now combining the dark toasty stoutsy creaminess and a bitter floral floral crisp finish

Winter Faith by Northern Monk is a brilliant take on a black IPA

For me, being old school and after falling in love with El Jefe ( Alchemist ) and Shaun Hill's Darkside Black, I think any black IPA needs, absolutely must, be loaded with Simcoe ... piney, resine, and a good underlying bitterness. It should not be astringent ( Carafa III ), and definitely not juicy.

I like the name "cascadian dark ale" because it doesn't give expectation of IPA hops character, and it's less nonsense than BLACK India PALE ale lol. Talus, Sabro and other coconut aroma hops are great in this style if you don't have IPA aroma expectations :)

Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Black IPA should be included. IT was THE black IPA for me.

What do you change to make dark lagers vs regular ones? I feel like applying that to an IPA is the most natural fit as to what a black ipa should be... Or just take a dark lager recipe, swap to an ale yeast, throw in a few more hops. Boom! Black IPA Can you tell I'm not a brewer?!

Question, I want to make a Black IPA but I've heard some don't add the dark malt the same time as the rest of the grain bill, I was going to add it all in at the same time, what's better?

11:00 for all the bottle opener fans out there

Guinness extra stout.

You gents can have a like just for the AC/DC and Soundgarden references!

My favourite Cascadian Dark Ale (I'll never call it a Black IPA due to being a stupid name) is Great Heck - Black Jesus

I damn well love a decent Black IPA 🤤

I'm curious now. Is "Dark Sister" by the BBP a proper example of a BIPA? have not had it in years, but I remember it being fantastic.

Hey, been watching a lot of your videos, and I´m wishing to ask an odd question. Would it be possible to brew a sort of dark malt liquor that can not be classified as a form of imperial stout or extra stout?

I’m surprised you never addressed the most obvious question of how can a thing be black and pale at the same time? Haha. Anyway, I’m loving the expert tasting, as usual, and the wonderful flavor descriptors Brad comes up with. “Forest fire” and “The shade of a mango tree.” The latter was a collabo, I guess, and Jonny tweaked the former into “burnt forest.” What a treat to watch. Btw, I’m inspired by Brad’s shirt to share a short obit from last summer I’m sure you haven’t seen. It’s from a local Hudson Valley magazine that had the photo as the cover last August. www.chronogram.com/hudsonvalley/on-the-cover-portrait-of-milton-glaser-by-franco-vogt-august-2020/Content?oid=11026008 Enjoy!

Maybe it's that whole thing of tasting with your eyes but I can't get on board with it. When I chuck down a pint of the black I want porter or stout anything slightly hoppy in there is gonna throw me off kilter. That said have never had a truly hoppy BIPA. Only sudsy, toasty ones.

They really should be called an IBA (India Black Ale).

So did the Citra work in The Kernel? I couldn’t tell from your commentary...

So a IBA or a IDA? It's kinda hard to have a pale ale and a black ale at the same time

Would be interested to learn more about neomexicanus!

Have never particularly been a fan of the "chocolate orange" effect of a black IPA. Red IPA has more going for it but doesn't get an ounce of hype.

I think Roasty Toasty was an AC/DC song only available on bootleg tapes...

I've often looked at black IPA in the shops and just gone, "but why?" and walked on by. Never felt moved to try one.

This is one of those beer styles I'm just indifferent to, I find them pretty inoffensive and will happily drink them if they come in a beer subscription package or something but won't go out of my way to buy them nor do they exactly blow my hair back!

What abv are we talking about for these black ipa’s

Do you ever allow the camera crew to finish off your half opened cans?

How can you not mention Saltaire?

It should be called India Black Ale

Best two I've had (and by some distance) are: Tool - Black Malts and Body Salts Weird Beard x Time & Tide - Call Your Friends That collab was out of this world good. Wish it wasn't a one off. 😪 Not counting export India porters though as if I was then Kernel would be top of that list. The double is maybe my favourite beer of all time.

I have always refused to make them, because everyone I've ever had has been a glass full of butting, incongruent, harsh flavours.

I had a black ipa the other day and actually really didn’t like it, to be honest it was like a watery guiness.... maybe my palate is immature!

What even is that tapping you do on the cans?!

Black IPA vs Tropical Stout? Hmmmmm

"burn't forest"...lol. I fell hard for Sierra Nevada Stout decades ago for it's evergreen spin on what a spicy stout should be. But it is definitely a stout. Now I'm more confused than ever after watching this as to what a black IPA actually is. But that's ok. Emphasizing any creation that isn't loaded down with Citra and juicy juice hops is refreshing in itself! I still can't understand our current world in which beer drinkers are so fixated on their favorite imbibement tasting like a morning glass of grapefruit juice. Gwyuck!🤮

What is that SMEG thing? A fridge?

so, the best Black IPA is a Porter haha

Why not call it an India Black Ale?

Why is is called a black IPA and not an IBA?

Back when we were… bastards. :D

I'll be honest. I didn't even know black IPA existed until i watched this video just now.

No, it's never coming back.

All answers given are all wrong but also are all right.....black IPA is a oxymoron and should be brewed as such....I think the aroma should be all IPA with no dark elements but the taste should have the hint of coffee and dark caramel. I can say categorically that the cloudwater 6th birthday "black imperial ipas" were definitely not black IPAs in anyway shape or form...

Nasty.... That's what black IPA is.
