This was the first recipe that I designed and also my first All Grain batch. I took an existing British Brown Ale Recipe and fused it with an American IPA Recipe to make a Black IPA. Overall the beer is quite interesting and satisfying. It offers a nice flavor profile with hints of biscuit and cherries while kicking you in the face with some serious bitterness. My suggestion to anyone making this recipe...back off the bitterness just a bit, or add some additional malt. If the IBUs for this beer were between 80 and 90, I think it would be just about perfect.
