The other day I had another beer that my daughter got for me from Southsea Brewing. This is something different in being a 'black IPA'. IPA stands for India Pale Ale and this is anything but pale.
I had it with my fish and chips on Friday. That also needs some bread and butter on the side. You can see the beer had a good head on it, so I could not pour it all in to start with. Those are some of my orchids in the background.
To me it had an 'earthy' taste, but they describe it as 'roasted' and I guess that is in there too. It is not an unpleasant taste for me, but definitely not what you usually get from an IPA. It is one of those beers that I can happily drink one of, but that would be about it. It might be too much for some people.
You may notice that this is not a beer to keep for too long as the best before date is only next month. It is fairly strong. Given how dark it is I would say it is more than 'hazy'.
So far from this selection I have had a real mix of tastes. I have a couple more to try that I will report on in due course.
This post is for the #BeerSaturday challenge by my friend @detlev.
