Surly, 3 Floyds , RealAle BLAKKR Imperial Black IPA is as the name suggests, a DIPA that clocks in at 9.99% ABV. Surly describes BLAKKR as follows: "This double black as night IPA is too massive for just one brewery's efforts. BLAKKR took the trinity of Real Ale Brewing Co., Surly Brewing Co. and Three Floyds Brewing Co. to actualize this crushing ale. This Imperial Black IPA has flavors of black licorice and bitter sweet hop aromas of pineapple." STYLE: Imperial Black IPA MALT: Pale, Carafa Special, Oats, Crystal BITTERING HOPS: Warrior AROMA HOPS: Simcoe, Centennial YEAST: English Ale OG: 22º Plato ABV: 9.99% v/v COLOR: 4.5 ºSRM IBU: 85 AVAILABILITY: February Lets see if the beer lives up to their lofty prose. Enjoy the video review..... Written review follows: Surly, 3 Floyds , RealAle BLAKKR Imperial Black IPAWRITTEN REVIEW: A: Surly, 3 Floyds , RealAle BLAKKR Imperial Black IPA pours pitch black with minimal hints of red when held up to the light with an off white 2 finger head of tight bubbles. Some glass lacing and plenty alcohol legs S: Pine, chocolate, coffee roasted notes, sweet malt, citrus, earthyness and big hops. All up in your face. Gotta like that! T: Follows the nose. Pine, chocolate, coffee roasted notes, sweet malt, citrus zest and bitterness coming from the roasted malt an hops. No alcohol taste at all. M: Medium-Full body that is well carbonated. Mouth coating. Very smooth mouth feel and is a very easy to drink. Alcohol is undetectable. O: Surly, 3 Floyds , RealAle BLAKKR Imperial Black IPA is a GREAT representative of the burgeoning Black IPA Style. It is a very drinkable brew that is what a black DIAP should be, not to malty and not too bitter. I like it and hope that I can drink it again some day. I feel super fortunate that I got to try it at all. Thanks Rich.......
