So folks, we are now gonna break for a second from our normal beer review routine. Here at I Love The Sauce we love beer (and scotch I may add), as well as anything about beer; the conversation, the atmosphere, the laughs, the tears, the bowling, and the hangovers. For those of you who do not know us personally, we have a wide range of personalities, a vast knowledge of useless information, and interests that greatly differ from person to person, as well as living geographically all across this great nation. But we are brought together by the brotherhood of beer, and we hope these differences can relate to every aspect of you, the consumer.
Anyways, as stated in my heartfelt intro, we love beer, and well, some of us even make beer. Now let me start out by saying I am novice at best, but learning more and more each day. I figure if a product is made that tastes good, why not let you all know about it, to make myself feel good.
So this is a Black IPA, it has the same light mouth feel and
characteristics of a standard IPA, but a deceiving a dark appearance. This bad
boy is hoppy, and leaves you with a nice bitter burn long through the finish
until the next sip. It is overly hopped and dry hopped in the fermenter. I went a little crazy on the specialty grains,
and used some black patent, carafa, and crystal, but the blend came out pretty
good if I don’t say so myself.
I am more than willing to share the recipe if
there are any other brewers out there interested, all I ask is you say hey, I Love
the Sauce sent ya.
Oh yea, this is 7.7% ABV, so slug til the Pirates break .500
