Can an IPA be black? Semantics aside, this noir version has subtle coffee undertones born of a blend of oats with dark, Munich and crystal malts. What emerges is something deeper, less orthodox, and all its own. After 22 trial runs in our Bend and Portland pubs, we got it right.

Dark, coffee colored, which is on par with the flavor: heavy coffee notes, malty, and a good dose of hops. An effective warmer on a cold day.
