I don't know how everyone feels about Black IPA's. Seems like a paradox that is greatly disputed among the craft brew world. IPAs are copper with loads of malt and hops, not dark and roasty. Depending on the BIPA, it can come close to resembling a porter. I have heard some describe them as the "new world porter". I am still exploring this style as are many breweries, but I think the Tommyknocker BIPA fits the bill (for now). It's got hops on the nose and up front the hops lend a little sourness but it finishes with a roasty dryness. I look forward to further BIPA explorations as more enter the market.
