Expect this beer to pour a hop forward jet black glass brimming with aromatic bitterness. Master Brewer Daniel Carey skillfully weaves molasses and chocolate malt undertones with a soaring rush of clean citrus and pine hop notes to deliver a drinkable Black IPA. Savor Black Top, like Wisconsin’s miles of licorice ribbons of ink that meander through armies of corn and bovine mowed fields. Enjoy the road less traveled.
Lean into it,.

Another gusher from New Glarus. Pours almost black. Nose smells just like a regular IPA with only a hint of roast and charcoal. Simple bitterness, lots of piney and nutty aspects. Actually a little creamy in the mouthfeel.

12fl.oz.-bottle. Toller hopfenaromatischer Geruch. Der Antrunk ist toll aromatisch, gepaart mit röstmalzigen Tönen, die zum Hauptteil hin stärker werden. Dazu angenehm herb. Der Hauptteil ist toll ausgewogen zwischen der hopfenaromatischen Herbe und dem malzigen, röstmalzigen Körper. Der Nachgeschmack ist toll-aromatisch, schön ausgewogen. --> super tolles Bier! 14/12/15/15

Bottle courtesy of Weihennweizer. Sweet milk chocolate and light mint aroma. Smells for all the world like a glass of slightly minty chocolate milk. Deep chestnut with a moderate beige head. Chocolate and roasty malt, spicy minty spruce hops and light anise flavor. Medium body, lively carbonation.

Bottle as shown. Pours a clear amber with small beige head. The aroma is a strong floral hop and pine. Thick mouthfeel with a strong dry hop bite and light bitter finish. Hides alcohol well, a good black IPA from New Glarus.
