From Bomber Brewing in East Vancouver comes their "Absolute Horizon Cascadian Dark Ale". The Black IPA pours a very deep brown colour with a light brown head. The aroma consists of roasted malts, earth, ash and floral hops. The flavour is of earth, ash, burnt malts, chocolate, grapefruit, citrus rind, tropical fruit, grassy hops and bitterness. The alcohol content comes in at 6.5% with an IBU of 72. This is the way a CDA should be a mix of roast and fruits. So many of this style are just far to burnt and roasty.
Commercial Description: Almost every species in the universe has an irrational fear of the dark, but there's nothing to fear in this perfectly balanced Cascadian Dark Ale. the stellar mass that lies within forms a dichotomous darkness of Midnight Wheat and Chocolate Malts, punctuated by the presence of Galaxy, Horizon, Comet, and Apollo hops. This may just be the beer you're looking for... So say we all...
