Espiga Black IPA

This potent Black IPA delivers a sophisticated sensory balance, merging deep-roasted intensity with a vibrant hop profile. The use of Cascade, Simcoe, and Amarillo hops creates incisive aromatic layers of resin, fresh herbs, and bright citrus. Beneath the hop dominance, a foundation of Pale Ale and Munich malts provides a sturdy, flavorful body, while Carafa malts impart refined notes of dark chocolate and toasted grain without harsh acridity. Despite its 8.5% ABV, the alcohol remains expertly integrated, yielding a silky mouthfeel that leads into a lingering, roasty finish. It beautifully captures the essence of the style: dark and mysterious yet refreshing and hop-forward.
